Operation: Test Ride Miles
The idea is simple, see how many miles I can clock up on different bikes on test rides.
This all came about from being given this B-King for a couple of days. Really enjoyed the ride and put a few miles on it.  But it wasn't until I got the test ride on the R1200GS below that the idea really came to me.  So all I need to do is arrange a test ride, do as many miles on the bike as I can, and then do a little review; its like I'm a road test reporter. But thats not why I'm doing it, I just want to ride a load of different bikes and keep some sort of score as I do it. There will be two rules however, firstly its test rides on new bikes only. And secondly its not to be done from the small independent dealers. So taking the B-King (150 miles) and the R1200GS (41miles) I'm on a total of 191 miles. Let the operation commence... |

Re: Operation: Test Ride Miles
I may try this once I find a big bike dealer, could be a summer of silly fun (I fancy some Harley Davidson posing followed by some Tomos moped mayhem).
