No, but when i do that's what the dash will look like! And $MODEL_NAME will be likely filled in with "FJR"!

I'm betting my totals for this coming year are going to be way lower then the past few. I've found I don't ride quite as much out here, partially because the good roads are so much closer, and partially because my daily commute has gone from 60 miles to 20 miles. But anyways....

I kept forgetting to post this. Starting mileage for the DR350.

Oh yeah, and sckego, you need to post mileage of your KTM.

Remember this is currently the starting pic. It all boils down to the pick at the end of the year, to see what you rack up this year.

I know, if I ride even 1/2 the miles this year as I did last I'll far exceed some of you guys :D

Er, based on what info exactly? Every bike listed except mine has more miles than you said you rode as of November last year (21k).

If you ride half that, you'll be roughly keeping pace with me and getting blown away by guys like sckego and DemonDuck.

Well, Will for example has 21K over how many years?

I'm talking about miles put on in a year not total miles, and I said some of you guys, not all of you guys.

Good call. Odo at purchase was 9126, pic is 9293. I did 320 miles up to Stewart's Point yesterday... holy crap fun, holy crap my ass (and everything else) hurts... This bike is awesome in <100mi portions.

The DR-Z is the same way. An atv seat pad available at some Wal-Marts is a cheap, wonderful help.

I forgot to get an ending miles picture on the ZX-14 but it was almost 60k... about 500 miles short I think. That would put me at 7500 miles. The BMW had 7 miles when I rode it off the lot and is at almost 1k now that it has been a week...lol.

Gah, I didn't get a photo of the R6's odometer, but it was at 14450 when I got it. Currently at 14620 (170 ytd) http://www.mileagetracker.org/showBike.php?id=3739" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The FZ1 started at 38620, currently at 49773 (11153 ytd)

The KTM started at 9126, currently at 10925 (1799 ytd)

The Ninja 250 should probably be dropped from my list, since a coworker has been borrowing it and has put several times more miles on it this year then I have...

So, total amongst the three other bikes is 13122 miles ytd...

So how are we all doing with this? I'm pretty much at 22k dead even through the beginning of December. Took quite a few more overnight trips this year then planned: Hwy 36, Yellowstone, Hawthorne, 3x Los Angeles... that's 8,500 miles right there, in only 22 days of riding. Funny, I really wasn't expecting to break 20k this year.

I don't commute on the bike anymore, so my mileage won't be as impressive anymore :(

I need to stop playing this game. I don't even own 3 of the 4 bikes in my first post.
