Pockey that's got to be some kind of record,most pillions move to the front seat before those kinds of Km's :thumbsup

But then I would have to stay awake !!! I love my Pockey naps in the afternoon sun after lunch  :whistle

Never had the urge to ride, love being on the back and free to gaze around and still be in control of the bike and its destination  :crackup  :popcorn

Hi Chaps,

whilst this is an old topic I have only just got to it, since I retired in1997 I have run up 150,000 klms on my st 1100 and then  traded it on my st 1300 which has done 175.000 klms totaling 325,000 klms in my 16 retirement years, that does not include riding since 1948 (on a corgi parachutists motor scooter) then multiple bikes until I retired in 1997, unknown klms, no doubt millions.... Just think of the tyres I have gone through, 17 sets on my ST 1300 alone..

I have done less than 50 on a motley collection of old dirt bike  and of late the ST.   Now if you asked me about cars, trucks and utes in would be in the millions.  I typicall average between 70000 and 100000 kays a year and it the last ten years have gone through 8 utes.

Been riding for 50 years. 15 or so years on Police bikes, plus my private machine, WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUE but it would have to be a lot (I'm not the type of person who keeps count of things).

Enjoyed 99% of those K's, that's all that matters.

Unable to even guesstimate ... 53 years of riding. Over 3 years of travelling Australia in early / mid 70's clocked up over 200,000 km.
It was the one sure way of ensuing that the ex and her boyfriend could not get one brass razoo from me, because I spent the lot!
Even if I only rode 5,000 per year for 40 of the other 50 years of riding, means at minimum, another 200,000 km.
Just the one month of Jan, 2012 was another 12,800 Km on the ST, and another 36,000 km in the past 22 months (average of about 400 Km per week)
