Not My CB1100! Ageing Motorcyclists are buying the wrong bike.

Lol started getting AARP stuff in the mail 22 1/2 years ago. Never did join. Imagine how Nacho and Rocky feel.

I turned 55 in May 2005. Didn't start keeping records of my mileage until Jan 1, 2006, but have ridden 270,362 miles since then as of today. Will add to that tomorrow.

wow, wow Ferret stop for a moment....
I would like to know how many miles total you've ridden on all bikes in your life, estimated number is fine with me, please.

PB, I estimate I've ridden about 820,000 miles in 56 years which would be an overall average of 14,641 miles a year.

I commuted by motorcycle plus pleasure riding and vacations for 24 years from 1965-1989, but never kept records of mileage... but can figure a minimum of 15,000 miles a year. This figure is probably low since I was commuting approx 60 miles a day 6 days a week 50 weeks a year (360,000 miles),

Then from 1990-2013 spent another 23 years not commuting, but riding after work, on weekends and vacations (accurately measured at 11,172 miles per year from 2006 when I began recording mileage to 2013). Figure I rode a similar number of miles per year from 1990-2005 (add 256,956 miles)

Then I retired in 2013 and have accurately measured an average of 22,552 miles a year for the 9 years from 2014-2022 (add 202,968 miles).

Best estimate I can come up with.

I've ridden in all of the lower 48 states, 2 provinces of Canada and 5 countries in Europe. My wife rode with me for 49 of those years and has only missed about 10 of the states, but rode in Canada and Europe with me. She quit riding in 2021.

Had a great life on 2 wheels.

Colossal achievement in your motorcycle life.
I bow my head before such a man like you are, Ferret!
