100 mile/day commute. Easily clock the miles up.

Servicing on schedule comes around roughly every 8 weeks or so IIRC. Expensive transport if you do dealership servicing every 2 months! Tyres are changed roughly every 4 months.

This is why I love it when I see IL4s that have less miles in a year than I do per quarter.

I also almost gave one old timer a heart attack. I do more miles per week than he has done in the last 3 years!
