    Mileages

    I took my Tiger in for its MoT yesterday. It passed easily, but the tester remarked that he didn't see many that had covered as many miles between MoTs as I had.

    The Tiger had done 10,500 miles since mid-August last year. But that's not my only bike. I only bought my Africa Twin in November and since then I've covered a whisker over 6,000 miles.

    Is 16,000 miles a year on two wheels a lot? It's mainly commuting miles with a few weekends away and a couple of trips to France thrown in.

    Checking my spreadsheet (because I'm sad enough to keep one), I also did 1,000 miles in my 2CV between last August and when I sold it earlier this year, 12,400 miles in my Berlingo and 3,100 miles in my Hymer (which we only bought in January).

    In total, that's 33,000 miles I've driven and ridden since January last year. I only have an office job!

    (I'm not going to work out how much that cost me in fuel.)

    So, no spreadsheet or calculator program on your computer then?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
