How many miles on your bike?

[ChUcK]

I just hit 1600 miles (2000 odo) in my 2 months of ownership. It's been a little rainy here in the PacNW for any serious riding.

My wife, in 2 years of owning her Buddy 125, has just hit 10,000 miles. I never knew scooters could go for so many miles- I figured they were 1K and done.

Picked mine up around the same (May 11th) and have about the same mileage. Though, I didn't start riding it until the following Wednesday, May 18th. I believe it was 548 when I got home from work this morning.

Nice, how long have you been riding bikes?

First bike actually. My prior experience was years of pedal-bikes, a few short rides on friends dirt bikes over the years, and about a week's worth of riding rental 150cc scooters in Thailand. However, I have years of experience on a manual ATV, so controls were quick to pick up again, and I'm used to fine adjustments and smooth movements from flight training. So I picked it up pretty intuitively.

Yeah. We'll have to meet up one of these days. Might get the other Spokane rider out as well and we'd be the 6R Quartet.

My Aprilia Atlantic went 35k miles when I traded it in. I found the guy that owns it now and it presently has 64k on it. so yep scooters can go.

OH yeh, my 6r now has 4500 miles on it.

Had mine for almost 2 weeks and am at about 500 miles. Have had it on the Dragon once but it will be there a lot more this summer. Had zero miles on it when purchased - it came right out of the crate to me. The wife rides a Yamaha T-Max and now that the weather has warmed up (actually it's very hot) she is riding it more. Sometimes just for a relaxing trip around the block or for running an errand (bread, milk) you can't beat the T-Max for a smooth ride and did I mention quick and nimble? David

I did my spark plugs at 12k miles and they were fine. Didn't really need to replace them and I haven't done so since (around 25k now). Plus, I put in the iridium plugs, which are suppose to last longer. Here's my how-to thread and info if your interested: http://www.600cc.org/forum/f88/spark-plugs-18643/

Well. I crossed the 1000 mile mark yesterday afternoon on the way to work. It's kind of nice to just open her up full, especially trying to get from 0-65 on the freeway in 100 feet so you can merge in without getting a cager up your butt.
