How much do you use yours?

[Rynglieder]

This made me think a bit - I was not at all sure so I decided to take a look.

Ignoring 2020 as it is a bit of a strange year I looked at the MOT certificate milage of my bikes in December 2018 and December 2019, the results surprised me!

Z1300 - 199 miles (now at 36,875)
GSX1400 - 605 miles (now at 37,162)
Z1000 - 563 miles (now at 10,409)
GTR1400 - 3,935 miles (now at 10,409). This did not get its first MOT until 2019, so I have had to take a three year average.

That's a total of 5,302 miles accross the four bikes but one seems to have got all of the "love".

I really thought I was using them more

That one is obviously the favourite ride Pete & who can blame you.  Great machine.

It really is the beast for touring on but I still love to go out on the others, especially the GSX and I'm in no hurry to part with it (or any of the others, even though those milages make it hard to argue for keeping them).

Although I have pointed out the obvious that 2020 is a strange year I think my use of the bikes may have increased - having been on "furlough" for a few months and then made redundant I am now either unemployed or retired (I have not decided yet!) and I am cerainly out on the bikes more regularly even if not necessarily for big runs.

I did manage to get four nights in Scotland on the GTR in July though, I think that is going to have to count as my Grand Tour for 2020. I'll post up a few words about it over the next couple of weeks, but here are the pictures for those that prefer images to words

Here's hoping 2021 will be better

I have 5 registered bikes, the GSX gets more miles than anything else. I'm addicted to the torque.

Most fun bike is my hot ZX7R. Super fast, but only in short bursts, my body can't handle it. Rode it from Brisbane to Sydney return in a long weekend ...... Oh the pain.   

Yet rode the GSX Brisbane to Gippsland and return, about 4,000klms in four days, so much better.
