Walking the Motorcycle Walk
Ever since March 2009 I have been committed to making my living as a freelance motorcycle journalist, and I’ve done fairly well at it. At least I’m keeping my head above water. But if you’re going to be all motorcycles all the time, I figure you really ought to be riding a lot more than you’re driving your car. And in that department I hadn’t been quite making it.
Well now I am. I always check my mileage on all three of my vehicles every January 1, and I decided it was time to see where I’m at this far into 2010. Yahoo! So far this year I’ve put more miles on my Kawasaki Concours than I have on my car. Add in the mileage I’ve put on my Honda CB750 Custom and the numbers are even better.
Altogether I’ve covered 8,135 miles this year and 3,893 of those are on the Connie. The car has only gone 3,735 miles in the same time. The Honda has clocked 507 miles. I guess it’s the one I’ll ride today.
And the numbers are going to get even better. The OFMC is leaving on our summer trip on Friday, so that will add somewhere close to another 2,000 miles to the Kawi. Heck, I’ve never gone through a set of tires in one year but this might be the year.
