Ive done 264 miles today with only about 100 of those on motorways & 448 miles since friday evening this is pretty normal for me Very Happy

Does anyone else here cover similar miles by bike on a regular basis ?

what sort of milage do you put on your bikes weekly ?

Wouldn't know, speedo is broken so clocks aren't registering mileage. Thumbs Up

Guessing around 100-200 miles a week though.

About the same as paulington, then again i have a 12-16mile ride to and from work depends what way i go. Unless I go out for a ride with friends. As i've done 200 miles in the last four days just going for rides with friends.

work commute = 100 miles a week
weekends range from a 50 mile sprint to 200 mile round trip
weekly average i'd say 200 miles

I do 150-250 miles a week. Some weeks I will go for 2 rideouts/meets and go out for the day on my own, those are the weeks where it adds up and I could be filling up two or three times.

When I go to my Mum's it's a 180 mile journey. The most I did in one day was about 230, which included riding back from my Mum's, riding to work and back and going on a bit of a wild goose chase to find a rider who'd broken down some oil (Sunday evening). That was knackering.

Got a 300+ mile ride to Cornwall in August, but this should be much more manageable as I won't have to squeeze work in between.

When I'm at uni I do about 60 commuting miles, with my weekend funrun between 40-100 miles, the very occasional 200 miles backroad shenanigan.
At the moment though I'm off uni and spend most of my time doing very short journeys to girlfriend's mum's house or just shops. So probably funrun plus 5-10 miles.

when i was in the uk it was about 100miles a day commuting and then another 100-500 in the weekend, oil changes came round pretty quick,
back in nz i probably do 40 miles a day during the summer(week days) and a couple of hundred in the weekend,
winter at the moment so probably only do 100 a week commuting to work, unless its a particuly nice day then ill double that in an afternoon

Hey,
Most mileage i've done in one sitting was roughly 300 on my CB500, one fuel and toilet stop. Grimsby>>Portsmouth. Best journey i've ever had on a bike and well worth the trip when i got there Smile

Bikes off the road at the minute while I wait to get paid from my new job Crying or Very sad so just have my little car fro getting around in. Before the car I was easy averaging 300 a week with going on ride outs and work.

Cheers,
Shaun.

When I'm at Uni, I will do up to 280 a week commuting.
I did a 280 mile trip on Thursday up to and around the Lake District (Hardknott Pass, Windermere, Wastwater etc) because I was bored.

None now, used to do 200 a week commuting but now cycle it instead. Most done in a day was 809 miles from Southampton to Leon, SW France, left at 12:30AM, arrived at 10:30PM, two up. The missus was not impressed by the time we got there Mr. Green

Cheers

Wow, I thought I was bad on the R1, I have done 13500 miles on it in just over 1 year.

But I bought a 2nd bike back in November, saved my little R1s millage. I expect it would be nearer 18k if I just kept that as my main bike.

Moral is, buy a £400 shitter for commuting and Winter Thumbs Up Wink

My journey to work is 2.3 miles but I still manage to average 80-90 a week just getting to and from, never seem to able to avoid taking the 'long route'.

Most mileage I've ever covered in one day on the Gixxer was 364 and by the time I'd got home I swear my arse had actually fallen off my body it was so numb.

Funny that, mine was Portchester to Brigg, although I stopped frequently just to stretch my legs and also to remind myself those hands on my handlebars WERE mine... Laughing
