It's my only vehicle and I've had it since March.
I've put just about 6000miles on it so far since then.

One of the best rides was probably one of my group rides with my riding club, the Taarakians.

6 of us just cruised up A1A along the coast of Florida from Daytona to St Augustine and back. We went into the Castillo de San Marcos, the big fort in St Augustine. Hung out in historic St Augustine for a while.

Parking like bosses, 6 bikes in 1 parking space:

One of my worst rides so far would be riding to work in the rain before I bought my rain gear. Having wet feet, socks, boots, pants, and jacket isn't that much fun. Especially when getting to work. I bought rain gear very soon after that.

Put about 1900mi on since I bought mine in mid June. Most of those are to-from work, so those I would have to count as bad by association. Favorite rides are those few times I have been able to get on the road and just ride...no destination, no agenda and just open her up. Hoping to get some more of those in this year. Few days left in NC to ride, yet.

Put about 3,000 on mine since I bought it in July 2009. Most of those are also to-from work, so not the best rides. My favorite ride this year was a nighttime date ride with my wife riding 2up (she usually doesn't ride the mc with me). Was about 60mi up through the mountains and back, even came across a group of scouts having a bonfire in one of the cross country ski parking lots along the way.

I've done about 2100-2200 this year. Would have done more but I've been working from home a couple of days a week since I've been teaching as well.

And I've done 15,000+ since 8/07 when I bought it new with .1 miles on it. Yes, that's point 1.

Longest ride in one stretch was 120 this past spring when I just went wandering on nice Saturday afternoon.

Longest ride over all was the trip I took with 2 guys from work. We rode to the AMA museum in Pickerington, OH. That ended up being about 300 miles overall.

I ride to work, but that is only 10 miles round trip. (Assuming I don't get lost somehow Wink

)
Since January.. gonna have to guess. Got Mad Hamish in late Feb with ... 3500 miles.. about. Now has 17,000. So, 13,500 there.
Add a few more thousand on Thumper. About 16,000.. so far this year, and 2 more months to go!!! Cool

Best ride.. have to think about it. Soooo many good roads around here.
The best rides are when I find a road that I have not been on before, and that is getting rare.

Worst.. on the way back from a days ride. Slid off the road for no good reason that I could figure out. Tires just wouldn't grip.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Got my S40 Memorial Day weekend, put about 2500 miles on it so far this year, mostly riding to work. Best ride was a three day trip to the Dragon in September with a group of riding buddies (total of about 900 miles). Worst ride was the first time I got caught in heavy rain on my way back from work without rain gear. By the time I got home I was soaked and my boots and pockets were filled with water. Could have been worse -- could have happened on the way to work.
