    Default How many miles did you put on your Spyder this summer?

    Since the season is coming to a close for those of us further north, I'm curious to hear how much time we all spent on our Spyders since Spring.

    Mine was new last year in August and I didn't ride much before the cold set in. I only had 600 miles on it after my first ride (to the dealer) this Spring.

    When I parked my Spyder tonight, I checked and total miles is 3830.

    So I did 3230 miles in since about May.

    I realize that probably doesn't rival some of you, but I'm pretty impressed!

    Maybe I'll manage to get in some more good ride time before it gets too cold for me.

    3900 miles for me. So far anyway. I wish I could put on more - but my job takes me out of town over 50% of the time.

    In Florida, motorcycling is a winter sport. Just got started 2 weeks ago with a trip SITS. About 2500 miles so far this season which for me started about September 21st Off to Biketoberfest next Thursday.

    Bought my Spyder on Jun. 6 and I lost about 3 weeks or riding due to the fire and I have managed to put a little over 5K miles on it

    Probably have another 2 weeks of riding before being done for the year.

    Default milage

    Put on approx 7000 so far. The colder weather and rain will slow me down until next spring.

    Doc, after a while when you ryde real fast, the odometer goes backward. Law of physics or something like that.

    Out here in Western Arizona we don't put many miles on in the summer. Not much fun riding at 115*. Will get a few miles on this winter.

    I'm only at about 8,000 this year...and you call me your stalker. I guess I'm really not that good at it!

    At this rate, I'm going to have to start stalking old folks with walkers!

    Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
    Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

    Seriously, if you compare our mileage per day of ownership, you're way ahead of me.

    Dang good!!!

    You should plan a nice, cold ryde to Michigan this January!
    (heck...it would probably 2 or 3 degrees F warmer here!)

    I got my Spyder on April 23, 2009 and stored it late in November that year. I took it out of storage in late March, 2010.

    I put on about 5,000 miles in the 2009 season and over 10,000 miles this 2010 season and I am still going.

    Curiously I have yet to actually go anywhere . . .

    I live in the mid-northern part of NH. I just get on it an ryde and let my nose be my guide. I have passed through Canada twice and did a route around Rangeley Lake and then south by Mooselookmeguntic.

    These rydes are all pointless in the sense that I never have an objective point of destination.

    I have one major advantage -- which is I am about 3 miles from the eastern side of the Kancamagus (kan-ka-maw-gus, not kan-ka-mangus) highway. So every ride that starts there is a gift.

    Someday when I upgrade to the new RT Limited I will start to plan rydes to somewhere. For now, nowhere is a good place to go as all those places are spectacular rydes.

    You see all the coolest, most interesting stuff that way!

    You never know what scenery (etc.) you will see on a ride unless you just ride.

    Good going, Bill!

    Won't work...after you got yourself "deported" the "authorities" found out you had stayed at my house and they got pretty difficult. Let's just say, the sound of a latex glove snapping still causes flashbacks!!! (you thought the whip was bad!!!).
