I'd be ashamed to post a progress shot.... I'm off to a REALLY bad start!! [:(]  Only logged...... 982 miles since the beginning of the year [:-]  That's usually a week and a half for me!!  But, between a combination of the cold weather, being sick for awile, and broke as all hell, has really cut into my playtime and I really haven't gone anywhere.  Soon though I'll be back in the swing of things!


You must buy tires in bulk.  How my do you go through in year?

It's actually not all too bad, believe it or not.  I've been getting good mileage out of my tires.  My last Pilot Power I got 11,300 miles out of the rear, and about 15k or so out of the front.  At one time I got 26k out of a Metzeler M1 front... I was surprised!  So I'd say I probably use maybe 5 rears and 2 fronts per year... rough guesstimate, I lose track, lol.  My rear is starting to get low now, just put it on a few months ago.  But it wasn't new, it was a track take off so it already had some wear.  Same with the front.... just put it on about a month ago and it was from the same set of track take offs.  It's still got good tread though, just gotta get a new rear

I'm getting in on this for sure, but for now I have no need to post mileage.  There is no chance of riding in Wisconsin until April.  I'll take some pics as soon as I put my battery back in. I think i'm around 9,400 mi.

Jared, you buy 5 rears a season??? Holy crap, man, that's some big $$! Do you change them yourself, or do you know someone or what?

Alright guys I know I'm a little behind but I haven't ridden much at all so far this year. So here's my entry for the contest.

Well I guess I can't officially enter since I don't have any definite pics.  But I got to wondering how much I had put on since I just started riding my CBR600 F3 around the end of December and beginning of January.  With me taking it apart and putting it back together again it didn't leave much time for riding.  So I squeezed in what I could...

I found this pic in my picture folders that I saw I took on January 4th when I replaced my gauge bulbs and messed up by taking that rubber flap above the gauges out and couldn't get htem back in.  Which I know it looks bad but I promise the Odo is correct...

And if you go here you can look down at "Additional Information" and see where it says Taken on 1/04/08.  Which I can't PROVE reliable but my camera takes accurate dates.

Right now my Odometer reads 31380 and will probably have an additional 200miles tommorow(Sunday).  Which means since January 4th, 2008 I've put on 2,679 miles on the Flying Turd.  I had 28,393 when I bought the bike on October 26th, 2007.

I guess I can't officially enter but it was fun figuring out what I have done.

Oh for funsies.  With my old bike(1994 Yamaha SecaII) that I got on July 9th(My very first motorcycle).  I have video of me revving it up with 18,085 on the odo on the day I got it.  Another picture taken on August 17th shows 19,925miles.  I sold it in October a few days before I picked up the CBR600 F3.  Which my buddy bought the bike and I believe he knows the mileage I had on it when I sold it.  So I can ask him sometime this week.

Interesting contest though.  I'll have to throw my bike on a bike stand and let it run in 6th at 5k with a 500gallon tank of gas.  Then I'll dominate.

G3NESYS -> RE: OFFICIAL ENTRY 2008 mileage contest: Post 'em up! (2/28/2008 5:12:43 PM)

im starting w. 21,488 miles.
no pic right now but i cant ride til it gets consistently warm b/c this is my first bike and im not gonna start payin insurance til i can ride everyday... which therefore means i have no plates... which therefore means im restricted 2 parking lot practice haha.

I can't even enter.  This sucks.  We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground here by Oneida Lake, Central New York!  Riding won't happen until the end of April.  Although, I'm sneaking out to GA in 15 days and taking the bike with me.[:D]
