Well, lets see.
The 1/4 mile takes approx 1 mile off the speedo each pass. 1/4 mile down, 1/4 mile for shut down, 1/2 mile back - so yep - 1 mile each time.
I don't go riding for the simple effort of running gas through my bike. There are nothing but straight flat roads here and windy most of the time. So not like being able to go out and do much more then drag race it. Besides, I trailer it everywhere so I can bring my gear easily as well as spare parts (i ride it kind of hard).
I maybe put on 120 miles a month on during the riding season. I don't ride it to work that often. I did ride it more last year since friends wanted to ride thier bikes to other events.
I just have no enjoyment unless I am pushing the bike to it's limits. I would rather take a car that has AC and no wind. That way I am fresh and ready to kick some butt when I get there. I'll climb into my leathers and stay there all day in 110+ degree weather because the excitement of the next pass is right there. To do the same thing and sit a trafic light sucks. To just get on a road that is flat and nothing to see for 100 miles at 70mph sucks too.
So there are more then one reason some don't ride thier bikes much.

LOL... well Sean I believe your "low mileage" bikes will probably have a bit more engine wear on them than other low mileage bikes. :biglaugh:
