Since there's a running tally of the chronologically oldest Vmaxes out there, should be interesting to see how far all these vmaxes have gone. I've heard a couple people here have 100k+. A truck forum I used to be on had a running addition of the mileage of all the members, and how far into the solar system all that mileage would have gone. Kind of neat.

Post up your year and mileage, as well as the state of the motor. To even things up with age, divide mileage by how many years old your bike is. I imagine Southern bikes will get an edge here, but it's all in fun anyway.

Year? 1997
Mileage? 22,000
How much of that is yours(if not all)? About 12k
Motor? Stock, valves adjusted at 10k, otherwise never opened.

Miles/year average? 22000/13= 1692


For fun....
altitude of the international space station is about 220 miles
coast to coast(san fran to NYC) is about 2900 miles
a journey to the center of the earth is about 4000 miles
circling the planet (at equator) is about 25k miles
distance to the surface of the moon is about 240k miles
Mars at it's closest orbit..... 36 million miles
average distance to the sun..... 93 million miles
Pluto at is' closest orbit......3.6 billion miles

How far has your vmax gone?

Mileage:11,186 miles
Bought by me, brand new in June 06. Almost all the miles with the wife on the back!
Average miles per year=2,796
Engine is stock
 
For clarification...."never opened" means the combustion chambers. Clutch/stator covers don't count.

So far the tally is

Highest overall mileage

naughtyG- 49k
Rusty- 48k
MaxMidnight- 36k
maxcruiser-32k
red98vmax0 29k
Redbone- 26k
Hatter- 23k
Me- 22k
gamog02- 20k
Vmaximus- 11,200
Jayhawk- 8800
Mr NST 9880km*.6= ~5400mi
KJ- 4200
4gasem- 4k

Current average = 22760mi

I wasn't aiming for a contest to see who rides the most each year(years you personally have owned/ridden the bike), rather to see who's Max has had the most consistent use since it rolled off a showroom floor. More like who has the most well loved bike.

Overall average (total miles/total age)
OO= original owner

maxcruiser- 7750/yr
Hatter- 7666/yr OO
Rusty - 4363/yr
MaxMidnight 3273/yr
Jayhawk (gen 2)- 3000/yr OO
gamog02- 2857/yr
Vmaximus- 2800/yr OO
red98vmax- 2416/yr
naughtyG- 2041/yr
Mr NST- 1800/yr
Me- 1692/yr
Redbone- 1444/yr
KJ- 1400/yr OO
