why average mileage or over 12000?? are those who do less inferior?? I may not do too many miles, but I ride all year round, to and from work, and for pleasure. Also ridden across the pond to Bordeaux and back. I have ridden since 2002, and have a full clean licence

Just used that figure as it seems this is the figure that insurance companys use,no derisory intent. My wife has a 10 year old car that has only done 32k but she has a clean license.I was trying to work out the increase risk factor for higher milage drivers

Only caught once in the early 70's by a young copper in a Minivan. Clean since then. Luckily no fixed cameras in North Yorks

Got done at 18, but never since. Been racking up between 12-20k each year since I passed.
Somebody once said that anybody caught speeding should be done for driving without due care as it's all about observation... |

I've had my full licence for just over 3 years but I rode for 2 on CBT before that- still totally clean, my current annual mileage is about 12000 miles but I had a couple of years when I only did about 3-4000- early on because my bike spent 8 months of the year up on bricks, and the year after I did my leg in because I was off the bike for 4 months and couldn't deal with more than half an hour in the seat for a long time after.
In all honesty I will get caught some day, but not yet.

Been on bikes for the past 18 years or so (never got the hang of a car) points at first were an issue.
0 to 3 to 6 (speed traps) to 0 then to 11 in 3 days (ooooops!!!) followed by 3 years of riding like an angel to 0, been at 0 for a ling time now (thankfully) Milage a lot less than it used to be at about 6k a year now (used to be 40k+ doing the rally circuit most weekends or 65k+ dispatching) though 90% of my ride is the daily commute into /shudder - Westminster |
