As much as I love the MT, I can never see myself just going out for a ride on it. I might take the long way home sometimes if that counts?

All of them.
Every mile I do will be either for pure pleasure, or because it's easier than taking the camper

800 plus on the Scrambler so far ( to Belgium and back)
Diavel is going to the IOM - so I am guess 800 -1000
Old Speed Triple 400 ?

According to the Beeline app, I have done over 2200 miles so far this year. Riding is purely a leisure activity for me so I’d guess somewhere north of 3k by then end of the fair weather season.

Re: How many leisure motorcycle miles are you going to do this year?
All of them. But it's so long since I've done any real mileage that I have no idea how many I can do!!
Tomorrow I'll be doing 35-40 miles as a test. I'm cat sitting in a village up the other side of the valley from Tuesday but still need to come back here for physio 3 x week, so that'll be abou 30 ish miles each time
Also, next weekend I might be a bit mad and go from the cat sit house to visit some friends near and in the hospital I was in, so that'll be around 180-200 miles.
So, minimal compared to some, but once I am comfortable riding again, I'll be doing it most days (that I have money for fuel!! LOL)
When I got my first bike it was end of October. I'd done 10k miles on it by the time I part exd it in april!! Mostly after work in the pub at night but any free time I had I would go out.
There are SOOOOOOO MANY roads and routes I want to ride out here that, if I can afford it, I'll be exploring at any/every opportunity!!

Re: How many leisure motorcycle miles are you going to do this year?
Work wise, maybe 8000 miles or a bit more. just for fun probably about 3000 but it all depends if i fit in a tour which will double it as a weekend away to Pembrey in a few weeks will be 1000 miles there and back and track time, if i decide to nip up to Scotland to see the parents for the weekend than thats 1000 miles

Geography.
That's cos you is a city boi Terrapin. If I had to ride through city traffic for miles to get to a country road,I'd probably ride less frequently,but I can fall out my front door and be on the traffic free twisties in less than a mile.
It's a lot colder here,though.

Re: How many leisure motorcycle miles are you going to do this year?
When I lived in Birmingham for a short while many years ago I had this problem every time I went out, where I grew up initially and where I lived most of my life the best roads were right on my doorstep, made a huge difference.asmethurst99 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 7:24 pmI went out at 0900 this morning - took me ages to get out of London spent 1 and a half hours on the bike but only did 30 miles - swings and roundabouts innit famSkub wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 10:17 amGeography.
