    2011 with 20k, all put on by me.

    every single mile of the 20k is worth it, what's the point of buying a bike when you don't use it? To be fair, last year was a quiet year for biking, otherwise it would have had 30k on...

    2012 and about 5k, not earth shattering I know but I am a fair weather biker now and have been since being born again back in 2004.
    I kinda see it a payback time for when my bike was my only form of transport and had to ride it come rain, shine, sleet, snow, thunder, lightening... I think you get the idea.
    Here's to a sunny 2014

    2008 with 13k. I racked up a staggering 843 miles last year. 200 of those were in 1 day, hopefully more this year once my bank balance is back in the black

    Not long bought mine (07 Repsol) and due to the weather it is rested up in a heated garage and has only covered 1,900 dry miles........ Never seen any rain!
    Hopefully that will go up once the dry weather arrives. :D

    Nothing I would have loved more than to have been able to rack up the miles on my latest bike.
    Sadly circumstances don't always allow for that.
    So I will happily take the miles as they come, and enjoy them even more.
    Although the wife and I have both said that this year we aim to get out on them a lot more.

    Be interested to hear if any need adjusting. From what I hear they often don't need any adjustment.
