Up to around 1000 this year now. Plenty more to come hopefully.

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.
I have some lovely roads on my doorstep. Unfortunately at the moment I also have half the population of Birmingham, and their bloody caravans!

And the other half seem to have come to the East Coast this year

Barely 1000 this year, mainly because of personal and health issues. Not sure either are going to get any better soon, so unlikely to be going up this year and seem to have lost some mojo as well.

Probably around 6k miles. My usual, give or take.

I reckon I'll do less than 5000 miles this year & that's more miles than I've done for a few years,although I usually spend many more hours pushbiking than motorcycling,not this year.
In May I went on a tour of Scotland on my Street Triple with my mates,we did just over 1000 miles.I'm going to the Isle of Man next week & we're planning a long weekend either back in Scotland or down in Wales next month so I'm still getting the miles in,but nothing like what I used to cover when I used the bike for commuting.On the plus side,these days I only ride in the rain by choice :thumbup:

MOT day so I now know.
Sept 21 - Sept 22 = 1600 miles
