[749er]

for 2006, 10,500ish, and don't ask where I went!

About
4000miles on a ZX6R
2500 on the RSV1000R, the most memorable with Poledancer on the back
and another 4000ish on the 749

only done 95 on the S2R so far

[clint 999R]

2500 best miles i have ever done thanks to my 999r early sunday morning 6am start around derbyshire o and 2 donnington track days

[BDG]

Nearly 14,000 spread across 3 bikes, France, Italy, Scotland, couple of track days, off road in lots of places but the Welsh forests and moors weree the best. and general running around.

Ashamed to admit i did a lot more miles on the KTM than the Ducati this year, but my best ride of the year was over Shap on Raid the Lakes in the company of various Ducati, but my favourite moment was being passed by MartinH on his 996R, watching him lob it into a bend in front of me and listening to the glorious sound it made Awesome.

Next favourite ride was last weekend, winter looming, hadn't ridden the Ducati for a couple of weeks, weather was cold but dry and it was just so refreshing to ride the thing again before the arrival of SALT! Why can't they just use pepper on the roads instead.

Probably only managed about 11000 miles this year. Of which 3000 were on the 996R (more than doubling its total mileage) The rest on the Multistrada. Never managed a South of France trip this year which usually adds 3000 or so to my total Did get to the Nurburgring though which was fun lapping alongside some mates of mine in their Caterhams and a 911GT3. Most memorable bit of that trip was being passed by a factory M5 with test driver in full race suit helmet etc. I was still braking for a corner and not even turned in when he appeared totally sideways and just drifted all the way round me and the corner. Awesome!

Had some memorable runs down a deserted Shap (A6 Penrith - Kendal) The one that stands out being the one Shaun mentions above. In company I think with JPM, Lily, Mr C and Padge? A great road for opening up a big sportsbike made more memorable chasing another 996r (Shauns) and listening to those termis rumble.

Had a few (but not enough) back road blasts up to Hartside (200 mile round trip) Brilliant either during the week or at the right time at weekend when its deserted up there.

Hope to do a good few more miles this year.

Did about 3000 in the last year. Mostly on the Fazer but last 400 odd on the Monster. Just riding around really. No real trips except to Thruxton BSB...

[DC]

Approx 15,000 miles. Mainly on the zx as didnt have the Ducati for most of this year. Approx another 2500 miles now put on the 996 and still clocking them up going to and from work. ( getting a bit cold at 5 in the morning now!!)

All for work/commuting and a few trips down to cornwall via the good old A303.
Hoefully put on lots more on the 996 next year as I wont be a prisoner to DIY in the house.
