I keep individual ride journals for trips, and track daily mileage on a calendar. Then there is the sheet hanging on the wall by my computer that logs every mile for every motorcycle I have owned but foolishly I have dropped them off every few years so the list that hangs there now only goes back 7 years. So at a glance I can tell you in 2009 I put 7929 miles on my ST, 27 miles that I put on the FZ1 I bought on Dec 17th of that year, and 2605 miles on my 750 Nighthawk for a total of 10,561 miles. 2010 was 10,542, 2011 was 10,736, 2012 was 10,718, 2012 was 11,117 and I retired in May of 2013 and rode 13,442. So far this year I have ridden 16,152.
My trip journals list miles, weather, meals, gas stops, hotels, and sights seen along with daily commentary. Then there are the literally thousands of pics I take on every trip but that's another story lol
It's fun every once in awhile to grab a journal that's several years old and read what an old trip was like on a daily basis. With the way my memory is going someday I will be living vicariously thru my journals.
