    Just a follow on thread from a conversation i was having with a mate the other day.

    On an average day out on the bike, how far do you tend to go?

    Even if i just go out for a ride after work it will normally end up being about 70-100 miles. Whereas my mate would rarely go further than 50 unless it was a ride with others

    So how far do you normally go?!!!

    I've done 6000 miles in the last year on my bike.
    So that's an average of 500 miles a month, 125 miles a week

    All of that is just for fun

    Ive had my bike for 2 mths and done just short of 2000 fun filled miles. Think my usual ride is about 3-4 hrs so looking at about 100 - 150 miles i guess. All of it is for fun.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Well, I just got back from a medium ride out and did 116 miles. I love long ones as there is almost nothing better than being on a bike.

    Normally I get to the emergency fuel point find a petrol station and go back, so about 300 miles depending on how hard I am riding the bike.

    Nothing but than cruising through the countryside without a care in the world.
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    When out for a blast i normally clock up 60-90 miles but can be longer if proper rideout
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....
