Anyone want to take a guess who's said 20k+?

Yeah, sorry chap! Not that Scottish merging of great minds, but rather the Guildford Massive. A group of complete tools who ride pretty much every week.

wish i could get some of the ecosse possie to ride every sunday but they are a bunch of excuse making home staying weaklings. some of them wont even go out in the dark. but the best ones are 'i have no money' 'i'm watching the racing' 'my in-laws are coming over' lame lame lame. there are only 2 members that will come out on sundays rain or shine.

That sucks buddy! We have a good pool of people to get a ride together with. We can be a bit lame with the rain now and then, but us southerners get a decent dose of the sunshine, so normally it's dry weather riding for us.

8000 on the Versys this year so far, but for the first 3 months of the year I was using an FJR1300 that I managed to clock up another 8000 on over winter. Before October I was doing maybe 1000 a month commuting and pleasure miles on the Versys, plus however many on customers bikes test riding them.

My mileage has dropped the past month or so since I moved 40 miles closer to work. I've just bought a Honda crunchie 90 to use as a commuter because the Versys isn't anywhere near warmed up by the time I get to work.
