PNW 2009 motorcycle Mileage contest - Seattle/Tacoma
So I'm 'stealing' the idea that Mark (mfrankpdx) started HERE in the Portland forum and bringing it up to Seattle. It runs like so:

Jan 1st, anyone who wants to join in, posts up a pic of their odometer for proof of mileage. I'd say put it next to the daily paper or something to prove date but I think we can deal without that, its all for fun anyhow!

At the 1st of each consecutive month, post up a pic of your odometer, tallying miles for that month and total miles for the year. Maybe we'll figure out a prize, but for now its all just for the fun of it.

Anyone can jump in, but as stated in the other thread, might be more fun and 'personal' to start one for each region, to play against other local riders.

** add-on: tally your car mileage per month as well, giving you a car/bike mileage ratio. Lets see who is riding more than driving! Thanks to Gamuru for the idea. **

Ok, everybody that has posted after TheBasque, and everybody going forward, please use this Google Form to input your mileage updates into this Google spreadsheet.

Oh, post up if you're in, with the bike/bikes you'll be riding, I'll get a list going . .

for FUN. you know, that reason most of us ride?

a friendly contest and a way to see how much (or how little) mileage your fellow riders are racking up.

I'll participate in the vintage class. '82 Yamaha XJ650.

I wanted to throw out an idea to make this "contest" a little more contesty. How about not only do we track our bike mileage, but we also compare that with the mileage of our personal daily drivers, too.

For example, I have an '89 F150. I don't think I put but a few hundred miles on it all of last year as I rode my motorcycle most every chance I got. So, my ratio of total miles traveled would be very heavily favored toward my motorcycle. So, let's say you rode 4500 miles on your bike vs. 900 in your commuter car, this would give you a ratio of 5:1. Now, let's say you rode 6500 on your bike and 5500 in your commuter. Your ratio would be 1.18:1. Obviously, not quite as impressive. Sure, your may have taken a long road trip to rack up the miles, but you're not riding as often as the other guy.

Do you think we could somehow incorporate this with the existing contest or have a secondary contest? Thoughts?

I like it, and anyone who wants in, just take a pic of your car's odo as well, tallying its mileage every month as well. I less than 3k on the car this year and just ready to roll over 15k on the bike.

theory it would work for a lot of people. Me, not so much. I make yearly trips to Cali to hit the track (on my street/track bike) and also to Utah to play at Bonneville. I guess I'd see even more miles on my truck when the sidecar racing season starts.

As a % of bike/auto it wouldn't be that great. Also, those who don't own a truck or car would have a built in advantage...

Hm.. knocking out the miles slabbing around the Sound. Hm.. sounds like fun...

Only 10,000 miles on my 1098 since last February, but 4000 of it where from a week long trip to CA.

Now, if you want to talk about how 'manly' and 'bikery' you are. How about how many miles you've logged in one day? My top is 980 miles (Monterey CA to Bremerton, WA) in 16.5 hours.

i certainly hope to gain most of my miles far outside the city, but if I get the choice between runnin around town in the car or the bike, well its gonna be the bike! And we could do a daily thing but then you're looking at another can o worms i dont wanna open.

Yup. I just didn't understand why this would be very fun, because I know some people use their motorcycles for DD and some don't

1200 miles from Hill City SD to Auburn, WA, in 22 hrs. Guess that counts as a day.

if this is updated monthly...have the mods sticky it?

'08 YZF-R6s

I bought it right before the Oyster Run...I sadly only have about 1700. I'm a puss puss about wind and rain. I can deal with the cold for about an hour before my hands go numb (need winter gloves) I'll probably get back on on a somewhat regular basis about mid February.
-when i bought my 250 last february, and traded it in September, I had put just about 10.5K.

I like the bike to vehicle ratio...but I share my truck so it wouldn't be so accurate.

march 08 to september 08 = 16k....none of them are commuting miles for work....all for fun.


i will chime in once i get back on it......would love to see how this turns out by the end of the year.

cbrforum.com had the same thing start just this last year. I never jumped on it due to the amount of miles one of the members put on his bike. He had a 04 cbr f4i and at this time last year had logged in well over 120k....

Questions are like... I will be getting a new bike in a month or 2. This is about total miles in a year, not necessarily the total on just one bike?

correct. if you own/ride multiple bikes, keep track of mileage on each. What kinda bike are you looking at getting?

New-ish. There is a VTR1000 in Issaquah that has my attention. If it's still there in a month or so i'll probably pick it up. Really wanted a gsxr 750, but I couldn't find one in my price range.

ohhhhh I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that in the rules, no girls allowed

j/k and yes, I'm sure at the end of the year, we'll have a nice tally and announcment for most and least miles. You can start prepping your acceptance speech now for that award.
