Re: How many miles have you done ...
 All that without a single crash Ok, so at the height of my career I WAS crashing once every two weeks, and my controller had a theory that in order to get round a corner I bumped into stuff until I was pointing in the right direction... So my mile to crash ration is probably roughly breaking even.. But who's counting? Hmm, maybe I should include this information in all those "Filtering advice required" threads...

Re: How many miles have you done ...
I used to do about 8 to 10K a year when I lived in the midlands and although I had a full car licence bikes were my only real transport from age 18 to 27 when my bikes were stolen. Lived using smaller old bikes for 7 years doing about 3 to 4K a year before stopping till last March, and a whisker under 14K since then.
Add all that up and it comes to.... err... lots  Crashes, oh dear, err... around eight

think that works out at 1 per 75,000 miles or so, but that is way ball park  Cheers Mark.
