Mr. 67GTO is right, I don't need a Vision of my own...   There's this lovely red one in the garage!...

Another way of saying what's his is yours?!?   ;D

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

Ok, half a year gone, Lets see where we are at:

I started at: 11,951.1
I'm now at 13,386.6

that gives me 1,435.5 to date.

that would average me out to 2,871 for the year (but i won't ride below 50ish, so it'll be less)
or 239.2 per month,
or 59.8 per week
or 8.5 per day (7 day week)
or 11.9 per day on a 5 day work week...

I bought my V on 6/2/07 with 10,755 miles on it.
Now, after starter and stator issues resolved, I'm now at 11,817 on the odo.

I ride, man... I ride regardless of weather.  ;D

Let's see:

1,062 miles in 29 days.  ;D (More is coming - now that all is well and good!) :)
That's:
265.5 miles every week,
or 36.6 miles per day (7 day week)
or 53.1 miles per day (5 day week)

Not sure what my mileage is going to be on vision since I've been riding 3 bikes but I commute 130 miles a day 4 days a week.  I figure that's 260 miles a week if I ride it twice a week.  I'll probably end up with around 6000 miles on it for the year.

I think I've put on around 150 or so the first week on the road.  I know 100 of that's been the past two days.

Ah, such fun to be out riding...

I sent a PM to MotorPlow when he requested the info.  My odometer showed 11,848.5 miles at the time.  Today, I have 12,944 miles.  Most of that was from the 25 year rides (about 700 miles).  Add in a 200 mile round trip to see inanecathode and about 200 miles of just playing around in the foothills close to Fort Collins.  I need to ride more but it's just been too damn hot lately!  Afternoon temps in the upper 90s & even to 100 a couple days.  I know - I'm a wimp when it comes to hot weather.  However, I enjoy riding even when the temps get down into the 40s, so Fall riding season can be fairly long for me.

The actual mileage on my V is about 500 miles less than indicated.  I replaced the 82 gauges a few years ago (@ 7300 miles) with an 83 setup.  It was in fantastic condition & showed only 500 more miles than my 82 odometer.

About another 1,000 or so on mine since last post, hoping to hit the 20k mark before I go to California. :)

My numbers will be nothing compared to most of you as I only just got one of the bikes running a few weeks ago.  So far I have put about 50 miles on the bike doing test rides and 2 days of riding the bike to work.

She is running great so far.  A few things that I need to do to get her running better, but she is happy to be on the road again.
