Sad to sad my road is still too nasty to escape to better roads, so 2017 is in the books. just ran the numbers for those interested.
Rode 338 out of 365 days (previous best was 323 in 2016)
29,105 miles (previous best 27,053 in 2014)
Average 86 miles per day
19,953 on the ST
9,152 on the CB
Most miles in a day 698 (Sat Jun 3) on the CB
Most miles in a week 2,228 (Mon May 29-Sat June 3) on the CB
Least miles in a day 11 twice (Jan 11 & 12..took my ST in for service and picked it up the next day)
Days missed per month :
Jan 13 (all snow)
Feb 3 (2 rain 1 medical*)
Mar 1 (wintry mix)
Apr 0
May 0
Jun 0
Jul 5 (2 medical*, 3 traveling)
Aug 0
Sep 0
Oct 0
Nov 2 (medical*)
Dec 3 (all snow)
total days missed: 27
I had kidney stone once, gout twice, a metatarsal issue once, and developed Microscopic Colitis in June...it's heck getting old lol
I rode in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas (CB rally),Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado (a great week riding passes and canyons with forum members Long Ranger and Offroad 4x4) during 3 trips..2 on the CB, and one on the ST.
all in all a great year, the only blemishes being the passing of my good bow hunting friend John, and motorcycle riding buddies Ohiaboy (Bill from Ohio) and Physics Teacher (Rick from Arkansas).
As 2018 starts tomorrow, I look forward to another great year. I turn 68 mid year. Trips are already planned to Utah, North and South Dakota, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia and Kentucky (CB Rally). My goals are at least 20,000 miles and 300 days of riding.
It's been a pleasure riding with many of you in 2017 and wishing you all, the very best in 2018
Have fun, ride safe!
