vf1000ride Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Your doing fine. In 2013 I rode from Columbus Ohio to Eureka Springs Arkansas and back. Roughly 2,100 miles in 6 days. This year for some reason seems to be either raining or mechanical issues on my weekends and I have done zip for mileage.

Tpoppa Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 When you get home from riding 700 miles in a day...take a shower and feel like going for another ride...that's about when it's becoming a problem. A problem for your wife/gf that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 When you havent put gas in your car in over a month, you might be riding a good bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 My car gets better mileage than my motorcycle. LOL, mine's about the same. (Depending of the twist of the wrist, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_sv Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 4500 in the last 2 weeks. Got home, took off the luggage and went for another ride. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 In 2008 I put on 1000+ miles every week for 3 months straight. I'd ride and hour each way to work then ride with friends a couple evenings a week and both days on the weekends. Wish I could get back to that.

Strictly Street Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 LOL for the thread 700 miles a week? Not that interesting. 700 miles a day for a week, might be interesting. For this week and last, riding in the rain is a skill.... come to think of it this would be a skill for the last couple of months... Damn Ohio weather! Opps, wait a sec.. weather is changing... Damn, more rain! Sigh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 When you havent put gas in your car in over a month, you might be riding a good bit. Last summer my cars tires went flat.My neighbors pointed this out to me. I hadn't noticed as I rode... everywhere!This summer, I think I need a to buy a boat. Damn rain!
