MIleage pic at start of 2014 year

Post by Scott-(Altoona, PA) »

No competition, no challenge, only for fun!
Post a pic of your starting mileage/odometer reading now and we'll see how we fair at the end of the season. I truly expect most of you embarrass me with the miles you clock this year!

I will take pics of mine tomorrow. Can I combine both bikes together? The XII don't see near as much action now that it shares the stable with the Nomad.

Jim, sure thing. Grab pics of both and at the end of the year post End-of-Year pics, total your mileage and pat your self on the back.
Ron, it is a great idea but not mine. Got it from a fellow forum member on MotoCampers for the same purpose --- FUN!

The '01 was easy to get a picture of, since the cluster/radio assembly is sitting on the living room floor:
Image

The W650 had just under 25,000 miles on it when I got it in 2010:
Image

The '90 is rather embarassing when I think, overall, how little I rode last year. The '90 rolled over 100,000 miles on the way back from Kanab in 2012. I took it to Moonshine last year, which was around 900 miles round trip. Other than that, I only put around another 1,000 miles for its current total:Image

I hope to do better this year. :thmup:

Did we forget about this thread? LOL.

W650:

Image

The '90:
Image

Only put 280 miles on the W650, which explains why the carbs are feeling a bit icky, LOL. Put around 3500 miles on the Voyager. 1900 to Asheville, 900-ish to Moonshine and it would appear I only ran about another 3 tanks of gas through it. Shameful.

Who rode the most in 2014?

Showing 51597 now, that's only 3122 miles for 2014, most of which ended up being the trip to Asheville NC.
