Every year at the start of the year I make note of how many miles I’ve ridden my bikes and driven my car in the previous year. Then I set goals for myself, high goals for the bikes and low goals for the car. I figured it was time to check and see how I’m doing so far this year.<\/p>\n
The answer is, very nicely thank you. In the first nine months of 2008 I have put 2,305 miles on my Honda CB750 Custom, 1,278 on my Kawasaki Concours, and only 3,739 miles on my Hyundai Elantra. My goals for the year are, respectively, 1,000; 2,500; and 11,000.<\/p>\n
So I’m already way over on the Honda, due primarily to the fact that I took it on the summer OFMC trip rather than the Kawi. The numbers on the two bikes would be approximately reversed if I had ridden the Kawi. That would be right in line with my goals. And there are still three months left in the year!<\/p>\n
Of course the big deal is the car. Fewer than 4,000 miles so far, with a goal of not exceeding 11,000. I think I’ll make it. That current 3,739 on the car compares with a total of 3,583 miles on the two bikes. That was really why I wanted to check these numbers now. I wondered if I’d been putting more miles on the bikes than on the car. No, but darn close. I figure it will be really cool if I do put more on the bikes. This gives me incentive to try just a little harder. We’ll see at the end of the year where it all stands.<\/p>\n
