Nope, regular maintenance. I'm dreading doing a valve clearance soon

Busa - 69,9ish
TLR - 32,300ish
BMW - 31,300ish
KLR - 35,900ish

I'll be tacking on close to 9,000 on the KLR in a month and a half. Poor Busa and TLR have been neglected. LOl

I'm not pushing shit. This year will probably suck for miles... I'll probably do half of last year due to work. We'll see. I'm trying not to dwell on it so I don't get pissed. I'm going to be in a much better place by end of summer with the bills. MUCH BETTER. Concentrating on that instead cause it's a happy thought.

Since I got the Ultra April 2010 I have close to 10k on it for me. I hope to have about 15K added on after this summer I got the bike at 14,3ish and she is about to push over the 24K mark soon. Perhaps get her put away this fall with nearly 30K hopefully over.

And? Wait until you see what I have planned for the July 4th weekend. Well, you'll see *after* I get back anyway. ;)

To be fair Cave, a few of the bikes had some mileage on them when I bought them.

The Busa I got brand new, so all 69k is mine. (bought new August 2003)
The TLR had 4k, so 28k+ is mine. (bought in December 2000)
The BMW had 26k on it, so 5k is mine. (bought November 2010)
The KLR had 34k on it, so almost 2k is mine. (bought September 2010)

I can still claim 105k worth of miles though on my own, which is still plenty respectable I think. :)

Yes, I do work. No, I'm not 100. LOL. I work for a great company that puts up with my month long vacation antics, and well, I do ride 1500 miles for lunch on occasion. :lol

I'm at 9303. Considering I was at 8161 on 10/15/10, I'm doing poorly this year. However, that's because my priorities have changed.

My "pleasure mileage" has been VERY low, almost non-existent this year. I've only ridden for field calls at work, as I'm trying to get out of debt as fast as possible. Riding the bike for field calls actually helps with that since I'm getting 50+ mpg and get paid 48 cents per mile while riding the bike. If I drive the car, I get an extra 3 cents per mile, but the car gets half the gas mileage, so the bike is the better option.

If I could find a way to reasonably rig a large pizza carrier on the back of the bike, I'd use it while working my second job. Unfortunately, I sometimes take very large orders and there's no way that would work on the bike. I'd have to pass those large orders off to other drivers, which would be detrimental since the larger orders generally result in larger tips.

So, don't look for me to win any mileage contests this year.
