I like the rain, when you have a wet bike it look's shiney...
until you ride in the sunshine, so now I'm a foul weather rider...

Depends on what opportunities you have I suppose. Being a lazy bum student (though just graduated), an average rideout for me from Durham would be 200-300 miles. Put new tyres on at a service a few weeks back and had done 2500 in a week, just pleasure mileage around the north of England. My bank balance is complaining about the amount of cash spent on petrol though!

Oh, and my bike rarely doesn't look like that though it's just got a full clean and will have some autosol love when I am bored enough to find the downpipe interesting for hours at a time ;)

Even mister_c's looks positively shiney compared to mine :lol:

I said on the AR that I'd washed it maybe twice (one of those was a jet wash - messed with the alarm something stupid). That's in around 23,000miles.

Luckypants, you have nothing to be ashamed of in my book ;)

Wow... if my bike didn't look like that I'd be unhappy - it'd mean I wasn't using it enough. Cuz would hate this (http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/WRCSixtyThree/CroftTrackday070707/photo#5085289322602377874)!

Looks like it's been slid though a hedge backwards... (Sorry Boggy Marsh, with Cow poo and Bull rushes)

I did 1600 in 2 days :p although the second half of them were not pleasant (read germany trip cancelled in pennine section)

nearly all in the pi$$ing down rain and the bike never missed a beat. (but then again it's not an SV LOL)

just waiting on all the nips in the post as i was doing over 100 most of the 800 miles:?
