    So I was ashamed how little miles I have added to my bike. The First 6 months of ownership I did over 4k which is a lot for me as I only use it as a toy. But this included 2k in 6 days touring.

    I bought the bike in March 2011 so 3 and a half years old and it's only done 7400 mile. Shame on me. But in my defense I do have another toy I also add a few miles on.

    So how long have u had your current bike and what miles have "YOU" added to it.

    Hi mate

    Bought my 2009 blade in Sept 2012 with 500miles on and as of yesterday she has now done 14k and 99% of this has been dry miles and I don't commute to work by bike :)

    Loved every mile she has done. 2k or so was done in Spain on tour earlier this summer

    Had my current blade 3 years, done a paltry 4000 miles... so it's now over 7 years old, and still only 7500 miles on the clock!!!

    Hmmm...

    My Blade is twelve years old and has done just shy of 15,000 miles

    Just over 3,000 of them are mine in the last three years.

    It's true what everybody tells me...




    I need to get out more.

    Bought my 05 blade 2.5 years ago with 7000 miles on her, now got 18500, first year was mostly road mileage, but this year has been mostly track mileage, gradually becoming a track bike ;)

    well at least I know I've done more miles than some here. I only did 1k last year which was bad. And only 1k on the kit car. And now I have the wife's GT86 I've added almost 500 miles to that in a few weeks and 200 miles only last Friday.

    5 years since new, 35000 miles.

    A mere drop in the ocean compared to Alblade, though!
