    How about a shift?

    I think it would be more relevant to ask what's your average mileage per month. That evens the playing field for all of us who ride, and more importantly, how LONG we've had the bikes.

    For example, if I have my bike for 12 months and have 12,000 miles, I average 1,000 miles a month.

    If I bought my bike new, and immediately went on a long road trip, I may only have 8,000 miles, but that averages 4,000 miles per MONTH.

    See my point?

    So, me, I've had the Dragon Queen for 29 months. I have 32,000 miles on her.
    That means I average 1,103 miles per MONTH. Still not gonna touch the guy who rides 4,000 miles per month, but you get my drift.

    High mileage is one thing, but since we now have three years' worth of bikes, it becomes a moot point.
    Now the retired teacher will go sit down and wait for any backlash from those who didn't pass math class.

    Except now the Northerners who (for some unexplained reason) seem to enjoy several months without riding, are going to ask that we "normalize" their months to a riding season. I.e. the Michigan peeps are are going to not have to count Nov-Apr as "months of ownership" for averaging purposes....

    Lol.

    I think your middle name is 'stir-the-pot'. It ain't gonna matter anyway cause in another year Teach will be over 100,000. She rides like 600 miles a day. Wonder who grades all her papers? Only time she stops is to go in that place where the Marines are. If she would hold still for a minute she might catch one.

    Some of you are crazy with the miles. 2015 was my best riding season so far in a short career of motorcycling.

    6,800 miles from 4/2/15 - 12/24/15. That's about 800 miles per month. I thought that was a lot. I do put another 2500 miles or so on my snowmobiles most winters (not 15-16). I have about 550 miles so far this year.
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
    2019 Miles:
    7,900 as of 10/6

    60,004 miles over the span of 21 months.
    That's a little over 2,857 miles per month.

    The day I got SG, Cap'n Bob told me "Once you figure out how to ride that thing, they ain't gonna catch you unless you want them to..." ))))
