2020 Rider Resolutions (Goals, Aspirations, and the like)

[Cormanus]

Right. That’s 2020, then. An extraordinary year for the Ferret all things considered. A very ordinary year for Cormanus with no riding at all in December.

[Wisedrum]

well 2020 is in the books..the rain came early, it was done by this morning. I waited until 2 pm to ride. The streets were mostly dry and I only had to deal with the cold. 69 miles @ 33 degrees on the FJR

Dec
26 of 31 days ridden
975 on the FJR
473 on the CB
1448 total

For the year
350 out of 366 days ridden
13,638 on the FJR
7,776 on the CB
21,414 miles total

7 months I rode every day of the month
4 months were over 2000 miles in the month

Longest ride on the FJR was Oct 2, for 353 miles
Longest ride on the CB was Sept 6, for 277 miles

Shortest ride on each bike was 19 miles..every day during the Stay at Home order by the Governor (only rode to the park and back) This went on from March 23 to May 1st.

Lost 6 days to snow/ice
Lost 0 days to rain
Lost 10 days to medical issues

on to 2021 starting tomorrow!

My data for 2020:

205 out 366 days ridden
9.500km on the CB
5.500km on the REBullet
4.000km on the W800
19.000km total

I start 2021 with a New Year's ride. More km will follow, don't havy any plans, how many days or km I will ride in 2021. It will develop day by day.

I realised I can play this game this year, disappointing though the effort is.

I rode 15,447 kms (9,598 miles) on the CB1100.
I rode on 68 days of the year.
I used 748 litres of fuel at an average of 4.84 litres/100kms.

Maybe more frequent shorter days in 2021.

Somebody is reading a great novel, let's say 900 pages, Russian classic author, leather book cover with golden embroidery. He enjoys it ... very much, every moment.
Comes his friend and asks about it, he says it's great. Another man hears that comment and he goes: I read the same book last year, started in May, in the first week in July I read 187 pages and a half, of which 16 on Monday, 19 on Tuesday, drank 6 bottles of wine, and lit 34 candles ...
No offense meant, just a little thought ...

Wisedrum

Looks like a nice year of riding Wisedrum.

RE numeric notation: I have seen numbers expressed this way a few times from European sources. Example: "9.500km". I reckon "9500 km" is equivalent, or "9K500 km", or "9,500 km", or the unreasonable "9.500 kilo-km". So curious - why the decimal?

[j3gq_imp]

in Europe the decimal point is a comma, the 3-digits separator (comma for better readability of big numbers) is replaced by a decimal point: in other words 9,500.00 miles is written here as 9.500,00 miles

[Wisedrum]

That's the way it is. You don't have to do the point thing, but if you want to make larger numbers more understandable for some readers, you can do it. Otherwise some will get lost.

A great year in anyone's book Wisedrum

My day starts with a New Years Day ride too. In between rains uggg

I think that's how I will play 2021 as well...no plans, it will develop day by day

I rode 15,447 kms (9,598 miles) on the CB1100.

Wow nearly 10,000 miles in 68 days .... that's some serious saddle time ... and we get some awesome ride reports out of that!

Funny thing..I had written down the miles on my truck on Jan 1 2020 ...56,480
and on Jan 1 2021 ...59,189

So I put 21,414 miles on my motorcycles and 2,709 miles on my truck

My truck is a garage queen

Well done, Ferret, and everyone else. Riding is such fun for me that doing it anything less than every day is disappointing at some level. On the other hand, riding is a recreational activity for me (I commute by bike often, but it is by choice) so I'm grateful for any time I get to do it.

Here are my final numbers of significance (to me, at least):

-Season Start: January 1
-Season End: December 29
-Total Riding Days: 188
-Most Days Ridden in a Month: 25 (July)
-Total Months With At Least One Riding Day: 12 (70 consecutive months and counting)
-Total Riding Mileage: 15,347
-Number of States Ridden: 11 (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New York)
-Number of New States Ridden: 0
-Coldest Day: 02/20 9°
-Hottest Day: 6/02 & 7/26 93°
-Number of Flat Tires: 2
