I couldn't end the year on an odd number so I piled on the long johns and went out. Even though the thermometer shows 42 it was only 35 and the wind was honking at 20+. IMG_0291.jpg

I live in Henderson and work in Searchlight NV. We had snow almost the whole way, and wind chill was 4 degrees. I used the cage I am sorry(?) to say. You are braver than I am.

18,289 fun miles for me. Most of those were my trip from North Carolina to Alaska and back. That was a little over 14,000 miles. All on a 2012 RT-limited that I have since traded for a 2014 RT-SE6 in November.

I just saw Searchlight on the news, crazy stuff. They had 1/2" of snow in Lake Havasu too. Hell is freezing over.

Former Spyders
2010 Blue RT A&C SE5 53K plus miles - never left us stranded!
2013 Pure Magnesium Metallic ST SE5 11K plus miles - never left us stranded!
It would have been a whole lot more, but we were in an accident returning home from Spyderfest, and didn't ride for 4 1/2 months. Got the Spyder back, and rode 300+ miles in the first 48 hours. Rode a few thousand miles, then traded it in on a 2015 RT-S Special Series in mid-November. I have over 400 miles on the new machine, and look forward to many, many thousand more!

Only about 7,000 this year, getting old/health reasons. do ride all year, but all are short trips now. 50 miles today.
I have always got a kick out some some hard core bikers and the way people talk about them. 5 year old HD with 11,500 is a example of non riders by the riders of a different brand. a 5 year old Gold Wing with 11,500 is a good deal to find. ????
Ride to live, live to ride is a old saying that is still true

My "Beast" ('10 Spyder RTS, Orbital Blue) was my daily driver to college, to work, to the grocery store, to the Blue Ridge Parkway, etc from June to October, all of which amounted to a bit over 5000 miles. Not ever having ridden a motorcycle before May, when my friend took me out on a Harley V-rod for a couple of short rides, I figure I did alright. Now I am literally gearing up so I can ride on the decent days through the winter months: there's no such thing as bad weather, only poor equipment and poor planning!
well, I'm late to the party.....13k..........my 2009 RS I put 54k in 2 1/2 years....my 2013 ST has 25k in 2 years.......bet I have more trailer miles than most......hoping for a better 2015

I had a 2014 RTS-SE6 (Sold) that had 30,000 miles on it. I bought my 2014 RTS-SE6 brand new 10 years ago.
Traded it for my current which is a 2023 F3 LTD Special Series, and the current mileage is: 2,183.
