How Many Miles Did You Go in 2020?

[ARtraveler]

Well, another year has passed us by. For many, it has been a difficult year. A lot of us have used the Spyder as an escape from some of the glitches that life has sent our way this year.

Please use this thread to post how many miles you put on your two or three wheelers this year.

I will start this off:

2015 Vulcan: 3668 miles
2014 Spyder RT-S 8722 miles
2019 Spyder F3L 11,209 miles

Total for the year: 23,599 miles. That is a record for us with a full year of driving in Arkansas.

All of ours were within 200 miles of home base.

[blacklightning]

Well, for 2020 I split things up a little different this year. These are all approx. miles.
2016 F3T- 5300 miles
2010 Yamaha Vmax- 5500 miles
2017 California Special mustang convertible - 5000 miles

I included the convertible because there were times I tried to convince the wife to ride the spyder and she didn't want to deal with putting on a helmet. So we still got some open air fun.

[MONK]

Not nearly enough. I think I've only ridden about 6k miles between the (2) bikes. I put ~4k miles on the '18 RT before I traded it in on the current '21 RT. I haven't looked at the odometer recently but I think I've only got about 2k miles on this one. I blame having to work 60 hours/week. I only get a chance to ride on the weekends.

I know how you feel. But if you were blessed to be working in 2020, it was truly a blessing in itself. I am doing well due to having finances somewhat in order, but my revenue for 2020 is about 1/2 of what 2019 was, and 2019 was really just an average year. But here's to more riding and more work in 2021.

[spyder01]

Think I did about 8000 on Spyder,almost none was done near home.

[Spyderman2018]

Not enough.....

You're absolutely correct, brother!

[pegasus1300]

I don't know.I will have to go look. Due to a broken ankle I missed 8 weeks of prime riding time this summer. I missed Deadwood this year,but did get to San Diego before the pandemic shut everything down. I made it to Red Rock Ride In in St. George. I have not been exposed Covid that I know of and do wear a mask especially when I go north to Provo or Salt Lake City. I feel very blessed to have ridden at all this year and to been as healthy as I am, being 74 with underlying health issues. Living in rural Utah has many benefits.

[RapidSpyder]

I got a little over 8000 this year, which is a record for me. Almost all riding for us is around the Black Hills except for 1 Bighorns loop where we trailer in and out of Buffalo WY.

[EdMat]

18,722 but still have a couple of days left. Promise to do better next year. :2thumbs:

[dpetrick]

I have 3400 miles on the 2020 F3L I purchased in September. Less than 1000 on the Nomad and about 2000 on the RS. Traded the Nomad and the RS on the F3L. Had total hip replacement surgery June 23, and did not ride until late August. Hoping 2021 brings the opportunity to ride more now that I can ride without hip pain.

[acdcking12]

I have a 2016 F3-T and it was my first spyder. Got it in Dec of 2019, and I have about 7300 miles on it so far.

[Ex-Rocket]

For sure, not nearly enough this past year. I wanted to go to several rallies that I haven't been to before but with this damn covid thing I didn't go to any. Didn't go on any long trips or even an over night stay on the Spyder which is very unusual for me. This year, 2020 is a year to forget. Lets hope 2021 is a better one, but only time will tell.

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Due to Covid, didn't take any long trips, but still managed 6000 + miles on the Spyder :yes: ...and added another 2000 mi. with the Cobra :clap::clap: ....... Mike :thumbup:

[Copperman]

I bought my 2020 RT Limited at the end of March and now I'm just shy of 11,000 miles on it. I would have had more but many of the Spyder events were cancelled this year. Although, I did make it to Deadwood, Mountains, Music and Motorcycles, Spyders in the Ozarks and Maggie Valley.

Here's to a better 2021.

[Wmoater]

Very close to 14000. We only ran one major trip. Went all the way around the UP, up one side of Michigan and down the other side. We did a lot of 2 hour rides close to home, Ohio and NY. Actually I was opposite. In the spring with the pandemic our schools went into shutdown mode. I'm a teacher and my wife works at a university so we actually rode more locally never stopping accept gas for about 2-4 hours every day. Summer hit and we kept it up. Just local never stopping. So I actually rode more this year than normal.

[Partzman23]

3100 miles--This is our first spyder. Got it in July, we only got to ride in the evening during the summer and on weekends. We keep our grandkids during the day while our son works.All of the miles were within 100 miles of home a lot of 2-3 hour rides locally. We like to travel the back roads around southeast Missouri. I try to stay off the interstate as much as possible. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for riding.We hope to make it to a few rallys and meet ups with other spyder ryders.
We will be looking at the 2020 RTL model in the spring for a possible trade up. Will have to wait and see. Ryde safe!

[ButterSmooth]

Got the Spyder September 8th '20 -- 4700 miles since then. 3800 on the Scout from 5/20 until 9/20. 8500 total, but since the Spyder is much better for longer rides than the Scout and is comfortable in a wider temperature range, '21 will be a better year.

[ThreeWheels]

5777 miles on the 2020 Spyder (post covid).
About 1000 miles on the 2014 Spyder (pre covid).
So about 6700 miles total for all of 2020.

[Motorcycledave]

I did not ride nearly enough..... Still had my foot in a cast until June 19th. and it took a while to get my shoes on
SIDE NOTE: Do not ever brake the bones in your foot Just ask Mrs. Lamonster.....
I am guessing I have put about 200 on my PC800 Honda and about 800 on the Spyder.... that's about it for this year
but there will be many more in 2021 if this damn Covid 19 is gone...
Ride Safe Everyone
Dave

[Jdr00ejr]

Probably 25% Victory Ness Vision and 75% Spyder F3S but I'm at 240 days and 22,223 miles on my tracker.

[Snoking1127]

We have had our Spyder for two months today and have put around 1700 miles on it, the first week it never left the RV resort until I completed my trike training. Chris

[VStarRider]

~6,500 on Gold Wing
~4,800 on Spyder

...so...a little over 11,000, which is my first 10,000+ mile season. We had snow on the ground as late as May 9, so being a short season made this even more impressive. I own a cabin in northern NY, so I have multiple nice routes to take to get there, and the cabin serves as a good starting point to get to other areas of the state. Rode a lot in the eastern Finger Lakes and over towards Oneonta and Cooperstown this year. Only got as far into the Adirondacks as Old Forge. My 100-150 mile rides of the past turned into 200-300 mile rides this year. I did make it into PA for a few miles (Bradford), but 11,280 of my 11,300 miles were in the Empire State. For the second year in a row, we have had an extended riding season due to a warm, dry fall - by far the best time of year to ride in this part of the country.

[Mike0123]

I got the RTL mid-September and got 1800 miles on it before I put it away...so maybe in a month.

[Little Blue]

:coffee: Never enough of the wonderful Spyder 'Smile Miles'.

:yes: .....:yes:...Bring on the New Year....2021...:thumbup:

[TIMMB]

2020 RTL, 10,304 MI like everyone else would have been more if it wasn't for covid.

[Navydad]

5000 on the Spyder
2600 on the Guzzi
2000 on the Yamaha
First year in many years we came in under 25,000, but with covid and some other issues it has been a nasty year. 2019 we actually had more days on the road than we did at home and I'm glad we did because 2020 has been the pits. Wife and I both retired early, have had reasonably good health, and didn't buy bikes for something to polish. We are blessed and hopefully 2021 will find us back on the road.

[Charlottes Web]

Only 15,000 miles this year.

[safecracker]

Less than other years. No long trips this year. Around 10,000 miles this year.
P.S. Happy new year!!!!!

[Mikey]

I only did about 3500 this year:yikes:!! Unfortunately, I have spent the last two summers dealing with knee replacements! But that's behind me now and I am on the mend, getting ready to retire, and hope to do some touring if this Corvet crap will ever subside. Mom and I, in one of our trips this year before I got chopped up went down around Conway, and rode threw the mountains. Conway was a ghost town, the only thing missing was the tumble weeds, darn shut down!!!!! Better days are coming!!!!:yes:

[Whiz11]

First year of riding, but thus far odometer 21450 an really enjoyed every inch.
Purchased new 2019 f3t in Jan 2019. Good choice. Only 74 yrs of age an looking forward to hitting road everyday I can. My guardian angel looks after me also.

[Whiz11]

Purchased in Jan of 2020 not 2019.

[bigbadbrucie]

I only put on approximately 5,000 miles this year (yes, I converted to miles) due to covid. No overnight trips....just local rides only. Started the year in Feb. due to weather and ended Nov. 30, same reason. With that said, it’s been a food year....I’m still reasonably healthy and still able to bitxh and complain.

[blacklightning]

I am super impressed with the milage that people are putting on. On most other sites, there are bikes that are 10+ years old, with under 15k miles on them. I bought my 2010 Vmax in 2019 with 35k miles on it. It was kept in the best of shape, and they guy who had it used it for riding on day trips and around town. At first I thought that was a lot of miles (compared to other bikes that I was looking at), then I realized that was less than 4k miles a year. Considering it looked better than bikes with 1/4 the milage, I took a chance. And I am so glad I did. Congrats to all the ground pounders out there.

[gkamer]

Not for all of 2020, just since June of 2020 on my 2019 Ryker 900 ACE was 7,206 miles.

[Time2ride]

I got my 2020 spyder f3s ss in September 2020 with today's ride I have 3216 miles on it. I mostly get to to go for 1-2 hours per ride . Today was a great way to ring in the new year on the spyder because the roads were empty!

[TVBILLD]

About 9500 miles since Feb the 2nd About 3000 on the BMW F800 ST and 6500 on the 2015 Spyder F3s i bought used in March. Was surprised i got that many miles for 2020. so many of my planned trips were cancelled for the virus. usually average about a little over 10000 a year on the BMW.

[Woodaddict]

Honda NT 700V & 2015 Spyder RTL 22,212 miles

spyder has about 3,500 miles, didn't break actual miles out

this forum has the ability to track miles. it was the same software that nt-owners used until 2 yrs ago. i think its fun to post miles and see where others are. can be just spyder / rykers, or any motorcycle. just have to get admin to turn on and format it. i think its fun thing to do. i asked this question a while ago............................................... ........and POLL

You are one lucky guy living where you do.. the roads all over the Black Hills are awesome to ride.. we make it to the Black Hills area every year and made Sturgis week this past year. with the good lord willing we will be back in 2021...

[Garydj]

I only put about 1600 miles on my 2020 Ryker 900 Ace this year. Only one major trip to an Oklahoma Rally and most just around the local area. I did some on my 2013 RT, but not sure how many as it is gone now.

2021 will be much better, I am sure.

[Deanna777]

' Not enough" on my 2014 RTS-SE6.

[JP58]

8300 miles for 2020 season. About average for me. No trips this year.

[Papa103]

I put over 15000 miles on this year. This is my first Spyder and the most miles in one year. I've had motorcycles all my life and averaged 3000 to 5000 miles a year. I just couldn't stop riding this Spyder. Furthest away I went was NY. (from Maine) Hopefully next summer I can spread my wings further and start filling in my map.

[PW2013STL]

Only around 14,000 in 2020. Too many things happened - selling home in MN, moving to Nashville,TN, working on home there. That alone was 3 months of no riding. Then in December purchase a 1984 mobile home in Apache Junction for our winter home and immediately started renovating it so another month of no riding, and I should have that finished by April. Looking like 2021 will also be a low riding mileage year.

[Border Rider]

Because of the travel restrictions, so just one day trips 3000 miles. Vermont doesn't have that much good pavement.

[K80Shooter]

Well in 2020 ZERO I purchased it on 12-30-20 and picked it up on 1-2-21. Since then I have been riding my 3 granddaughters all over the place. Ages 10, 7 & 6 they are having a ball. (So am I)

[teninospyder]

Approx. 8,000......and given our Governors ("haven't really got any clue why, but here are your personal travel restrictions for the week, and I will change them whenever I want" - mentality) I think we did OK - just NOT on "Road Trips" like we wanted.

[missouriboy]

Only about 13,000 miles in 2020. But "new" machine rolled up 92,400 yesterday, so that's 125,000 miles in just under 8 years for me. No overnight trips, all just putt-putting around home for fun.
Here's to the next 125,000! :yes: (Hmmmm. At my age? Prolly not...)

[Raprider]

5500 miles on the Spyder (plus another 60 miles on Jan 2 :) )
1500 miles on the Virago
All in-state :(

[Vishous911]

I use the Spyder and a Street Bob as my daily drivers. So I have

18k on a 2019 F3 Limited
and
9.6k on a 2020 Street Bob.

The only time I do not ride is if it is going to snow or ice. This is my daily escape from life

[Sarge707]

About 4,500 miles on each-All local trips.

[Big F]
