How many miles in 12 months

just had my MOT .

no road trips or long long ride outs or Luckpants' tours for me this year and so .

.. MOT to MOT only 712 miles.


hmmmm is it worth having a bike for only 712 miles a year I wonder?


you? how many . ?

yes it's worth it

that is unless you don't get the same buzzzzzz

ooohhh and its about 8k for me and that's just getting out on sundays. bikes now away till March.

Of course it's worth having, a bad days biking beats a good days work every time!

No idea on mine I've stopped paying attention now, the Ace is to old to bother with such trivialities!

Not many more than you Quiff, about 1000 in spring then 500 this summer Returning to work has been great but I have no time to myself.

I'll know hopefully by the weekend

No, if you look at what it cost you in insurance, MOT, tax, depreciation, etc, you could rent a bike for that kind of mileage.

I do worry about the mileage thats gone on mine this year, as it was such a low mileage bike, but its there to be used, I'll keep it until its old enough not to matter, and I enjoy it, so bolox to it!

It's always worth it IMO, I've done over 8k maybe 9k with the drz, all pleasure miles, don't regret it for one minute.

it's not always about money. having a pleasure in life makes life worth living.

This. I don't have any money, nor time at the moment to even think about a bike. However, they are a pleasure of my life, and therefore worth the money just to sit and smile at them when I open the dizz cave. Why sell them for a short term monetary gain, when in the long run I won't ever afford to buy them in the future?

Think I'll stick with less miles than yours Quiff, and save em for a sunny day when the little fella goes to school........only a couple of years :'(

For the record, the sv had more miles than that JUST, but only because Peg put them there, dunno about the VRap, its done 300 miles since its MOT in July.

I get pleasure from riding motorbikes, doesnt matter whether its rented or not. I personally wouldnt keep one if I was only doing 700 miles a year.

A days riding for me is rarely less than 200 miles. I could probably rent a better bike than I could afford to buy, and try a different one each time at that.
