Yep. Fewer miles as working from home lots, but still out and about and even took a biking holiday to Italy in October.

Bike currently off the road as silly-bollocks here was slack in not ensuring it didn't passed the MOT. That will be rectified this week.

And I get to use a a bananananana smiley.

Does this count?

No.

I'd love to but after my last bike was rammed from behind and then stolen within a week I've found the time or money needed wasn't justified.
I'm tempted by some of the threads about what bike for £X, there looks to be some good stuff for not a fortune but then realise if I had 4k to spare I have more pressing things to spend it on.
I hope to get a basic bike to tinker with in a couple of years, a track bike would be good if I have the time on my hands to use it.

The answer I expected.

But not from you.

4 motorcycles, all of them run, some better than others, I rode two of them last year, the FZ750 and the FZR400, the Kawasaki I didn't get a chance to ride, but it keeps blocking it's pilot jets, I need to get the leaky tank repaired and decide what to do with the lined tank (the lining is coming off and blocking jets), the YPVS I bought in September, but I've only ridden it up the drive, so about 20 yards, but I think the YPVS will become my road bike, the FZ will finally get it's 911 engine fitted and become a track bike.

Yep- not had a break in 40 years. 2020 was a pretty good biking year for me, I racked up quite a few miles on the Bonnie, Harley and the new Speed Twin- partly due to joining a club (something I never thought I'd do) and meeting some really good like minded people all, and partly due to the really good summer we had

I did ride in 2020, commuting till June, then just for fun really. I've got the bike laid up in the garage all ready to go, but will only ride when it is dry and warmer. No rush and I walk to work now (usually)...

A lot less over the last year, but yes.

My Tiger 'only' did 5k miles last year in commuting. It's currently just over 60k miles and 7 year old. O

Jan to march I only went into the office a couple of times a week, march to sept the bike didn't turn it's wheels as I was WFH.
Sept to Christmas I was back to 1k miles a month commuting every day.

Now that the schools are closed again I'm WFH so I won't ride until after Feb half term.

Yup still ride. I'd be a right grumpy git if I didn't. I am however a fully paid up member of the FWB gang now.

'tis my only means of transport

Grumpy just 6 months of the year then?

Still do.

Couple of thousand miles this year, all on the KTM enduro bike. A reasonably good percentage of those on green lanes

Monster is resurrected, just waiting for an MOT then will be out on it when the sun shines. Hopefully it'll get to Portimao this summer

Yes - 2 motorbikes both street legal
Rode through Lock down to work and bought a new un in June.
Not ridden the FireBlade recently as weathers been shit .
Most of my trips are quick 15 minute commutes but i've ridden the most in the last year than I have for ages .

Yeah I do. There's usually at least one bike in the garage. I manage 3-4k miles a year just messing about evenings and weekends and maybe a bigger trip each year. More if I can get away with it.
I'm also a FWB but I'll go for a quick blast mid-winter if mild enough, dry enough and salt-free enough. I sometimes have a project for the winter but they are getting harder to find. Harder to find cheap that is.

eh? of course I still ride... although there was a year off because of knee pain (first few months) & knee replacement (the rest of the year).

When I lived in Cambridge there was a club called Locomotive MCC, Most of them either walked everywhere, took a bus or cycled. This was down to many of them not having bikes & the rest having driving bans from booze.
I thought it very apt they named the club after the pub where most of them got drunk enough to lose their license.

Ridden since about 1974 apart from when I sold my bike for a few years as kids came along.

First thing I did on moving out was buy a bike.

I've been riding since then and intend to do so for as long as I'm able to get my leg over.

Yup about 4k in 2020, all fun miles, around the Highlands..
