So, how is your year going,riding wise?

[The Spaceman_imp]

Last year I had to literally crawl over the bike on one knee to get on it. Every time I put my feet down at stops it hurt like a motherf'er. I couldn't ride more than an hour. Simple maintenance like chain lube was an ordeal.

None of that since early February. I'm doing 500/600 miles a day like it's nothing. The bike is running better than new. I put more miles on it the first quarter of 14 than all of 13 (since March).

My riding season is going GREAT!!!!!!

Good to hear you're finally clean Spaceman. That crack's a biarch!

True, but how else am I going to get the crack ho's to come by for a party?

Ok, now I'm picturing you as some kinda motorcycling Jesse Pinkman!

Great start to the season in Seattle. We've had a couple of glorious 80 degree sunny days, and I've put enough miles on to do the initial oil change. Planning to retire this year, and put in some real miles!

Haha, love how the die-hard, staunch conservatives manage to just 'gloss over' the silly schoolboy banter and get right bang back on topic.

It makes the cretinous endeavours of The Spaceman & I rather fruitless in our pursuit of comedy gold.

Christmas day 2013 until late March was a bust for me, except in the farkle department. Now that I have a real driveway and the mud on Eden Mill Road is gone I've been able to put around 400 miles on the bike. Getting less than 40 mpg but the reborn bike is a literal blast.

 

[ride4now_imp]

-2013CB... About 300 miles early in the year.
-2014CB... I'm embarrassed... about 100 in the month I've had her.
-KLR... About 50 miles.
-HD... About 100 miles.

But that'll change...I'm spending a week up in Georgia at the end of the month
and have a few good rides planned on both of my 'northern' bikes.

And I expect to get some miles on the new CB this month as my wife wants to spend the month of May at the house in GA. That leaves me alone in Fla for much of the month with my new toy...

Good question ferret.

Answer: No I was was riding dumb when I low sided in February.

Oh hell, I crack myself up. Hang on, maybe I shouldn't have put it quite like that.

Cheers

It's been a great year so far. Jan-Apr are prime riding season around here. I've put about 1,500 miles on the CB11 so far and 1000 on the CB750. In March and April I used up about 5 vacation days to do some AZ road trips during the week (a lot less traffic on the backroads than on weekends).

Now that the hot season is here, I'll still be making my short commute on the bikes everyday, but probably won't be doing as many impromptu road trips.

:rofl: took me a couple of times, but I got it. Just wanted you to know.

I work in my Deli/Cafe 6 days a week so sunday is my best shot at riding, I do try to ride to work if I can.The sunday rides with my buds are generally about 100 to 150 miles:biker:

 

[Rick Froscheiser_imp]

Ride to work splitting the time between the CB and the CBX as weather allows.

 

[PowderToastMan_imp]

Jan and Feb were very good, March and April not so much. Now that the wife has moved in, I have to get used to riding a lot less than I did last year
I will have some work-arounds at my disposal later but the current situation is tight with free time.

Bought the bike with just over 2,000 kms on it in September 2013. It recently ticked over 10,000 kms and I've put a good many of them on the bike this year. I've been lucky: it's been a pretty dry summer so there have been more riding days than usual. I've done the best I can to make use of them.

Ferret, it took me a couple of goes to figure out what Pterodactyl was saying, but I, too, got there in the end. "Very droll" we'd say.

 

[redbirds_imp]

Been putting a lot of miles on since buying the bike in January. Three trips to Florida, a charity ride plus a lot of local riding for pure enjoyment. The rain has kept us off the bikes for a week now as the road from my house is just too muddy for two wheels. Supposed to be beautiful weather starting Saturday and we will be able to get out now that the road is getting dried out. Two more trips to Florida in the next two weeks to Dunnellon and Tallahassee. I love this bike and try to use it for any trips that don't require the cage.

Hope everyone has a safe riding season.

I have not been able to ride as much this year as I wanted. I think I have ridden a about 1400 miles so far. I have found a way to work a great deal of my business from home now so that has been a huge plus in one respect. Weather permitting, I roll on 2 wheels when I have to go somewhere. Just yesterday, I filled up the truck and thought to myself I wonder if I can make this tank of gas last a month? That is the plan and we will see how it works out. I am so busy with life that I feel guilty when I am not working. I really need to get out more. I have one or two little things that I need to do to my 750 and have just put it on the back burner and the heck of it is that it will only take just a little bit of time to do them. I sure have enjoyed it thus far though what little I have gotten out on it.

 

[Gingersdaddy_imp]

Terrible I brought my CB 1st of October and I have 2300miles on her. Bad winter and now it seems to rain everyday that I would have had the opportunity to ride. Barely averaging one commute to work a week.

 

[RetroSeattle_imp]

We've had a stretch of beautiful warm weather here in Seattle. Out and about today at Greenlake in north Seattle. Trying out my new Honda accessory rack and top box. Works great, makes the bike a really useful grocery-getter. Of course my wife wonders why it takes me two hours to ride down to Safeway for a gallon of milk.....:biker:

 

[MFGUSA_imp]

57 miles... that's it. from the Dealer in Green bay home, and that was 3 weeks ago. Snow and cold rain are the order of the day. Maybe 60 next Thursday. I sit on my bike and go Vroom! Vroom!

Who thought up this stupid thread anyways. Oh, never mind.

 

[sanoke_imp]

Typically 100 miles a day during the week on the CB1100. Then 250 a day on Saturday and Sunday on my V-Strom.

 

[floopfloopington_imp]

I'm in the Chicago Area and got my 2014 CB1100 (non-deluxe) about 4 weeks ago. I've already taken it on a couple 100+ mile rides to and from the suburbs.

Other than that it's been a daily commuter whenever it isn't raining, which isn't often as of late April/early May. On a good week i'll put 150 miles on.

I just can't stand commuting any other way! Chicago drivers are OK, but it's the tourists you need to watch out for. An 1100CC beast like this gives me the torque I need to just shoot past them and not deal with their idiotic swerving & erratic braking. Essential commuting accessory.
