Weekly mileage??

And I got Helga off Scoobs Feb 2006, with 28k on the clocks, so in those 2 years I have done 32k, and thats with 3 months off with sickness and other things. Not bad me thinks.

When Helga was mine, I was commuting 92 miles a day on it. Only had about 4,000 miles on it when I brought it. Didn't take long to rack em up.

I am 4.4 miles each way to and from work.

Still have 200 miles on a bike I have had for 4 days tho

I have use of a car until 15th April when it will be bike only for work and play - its a 22 mile round trip to work each day so thats ~90 miles a week just commuting - during the summer 150-200miles a weekend is not uncommon "enjoying" myself (why does that sounds perverted??!) so I would imagine the 9000 miles on my 18 month old bike will soon see a sharp increase - hey ho - I was offered ?2k as a trade in towards the end of last summer so I may as well make the most of it!

Why do rideouts not count? bit of a pointless poll if you discount miles depending on who's with you.
Sometimes on my commute I see so many SV's is like a rideout - do I have to discount those as well?

I was particularly interested in commutes as that's what I use my bike for the majority of the time.

What was at the back of my mind was a figure I read somewhere talking about 'average' use for a motorbike - I think 3k/year was average use for a 500cc+- bike... I'm thrashing that, and was curious as to what others did? The reason I discounted rideouts was mainly because I'm interested in a more 'continuous' use, rather than a 400-mile blitz once every 3 or 4 weeks, over 4 months of the year... Plus, I'm a grumpy old bugger who doesn't like people having fun on rideouts as I'm pretty much restricted to using the bike for the ride to work.....

Daily commute of 19 miles each way. That's 38 daily miles or 190 a week plus any meetings or diversions to see the folks on the way home.
My 52 plate has just had its 15000 service (although it was 700 miles late! oops). I had new tyres (Road Attacks), chain, sprockets and fork seals at the same time. It's now a completely diffefrent bike to ride. I love it

i do a minimum of 300 a week

Ok, you are of course allowed to ask whatever you want - just see my other thread that I'm dreading going back to see the abuse I'm sure to get
350 miles commuting a week for me

65 miles per day to work. Plus any personal mileage like gym and rideouts etc.

So yeah, more than 300 per week.
