I think I can do it
 
I'm shooting for 60,000 miles before the end of this year and I think I can do it. It's been rough, though. Been working 10-12 hours a day lately. We'll see. By the way, she'll be 2 years and 2 months on the 27th of this month.

Wow, I am pushing 9000kms in a year and a half. The last two years here have been shitty rainy though.

Shit dog. Just take a couple small trips of ghost town hunting or taking pics of your bike in front of stuff.

Sleeper, you are a nut dude. But damn you get some riding in. As much as I love riding, I cant imagine getting the mileage you do.

It's not easy when you don't have time in the afternoons and Sundays. Most of these are done between 4:00 and 6:00 am weather permitting, of course. I get up at 3:45 every morning and leave at 4:00 even on weekends just to be able to ride. If I don't, I will never get to ride. Last Thursday, I worked from 7:30am until 7:50 at pm. I always start at 7:30 am and work until whenever. I now have over 105,000 miles under my belt in 4 years and one month. 47,000 miles on my R1 before I traded it in for the Busa.

Here's an example of my early Sunday morning rides. Left the house just before 4:00.

Got home just in time to go to the gym with my wife at 9:00 and spent the rest of my day with the family.

Just go on a day trip with ThirdGen and you'll be good to go.

But congrats man. Hopefully you live in a good climate and can do some good winter riding.

And here I was proud of the miles on my Busa. They do come with 47 state line pictures though, so I do not hang my head in shame. LOL

I'm almost at 58k, but I've had mine for 6 years now. Good job rackin' up that kind of mileage so fast!

I live in Germantown, Md. There were times when I don't get to ride for over a month. Winter can get really bad around here sometimes.

Homeslice 11-15-2009 11:01 PM

Thanks, G. That's so awesome to have ridden that many states. I would love to do that, too. Maybe when the kids are grown up and on their own.

Over a month of no riding huh... must be rough. :gofurslf:

It's rough when I can't ride even for just a week. That's how addicted I am to riding. I guess that's why I managed to do over 105,000 miles total since I started riding in October of 2005.

Damn. Makes me glad my GF didn't take that job in NYC and instead got one in Atlanta.

It was in the low 70s (maybe upper 60s) here. I rode to work (in the high 40s I think but freezing cold at 90-95mph) for 30miles. Then rode to school and it was nice! Ride home was a little nippy but my 1st Gear Kilo jacket worked great! Blue jeans not so great. Heat grips where 100% WIN!
