I bought my first bike last October, and put it away for the winter with 300 miles on it. Today it has around 5100. What a difference this has made in my riding ability. I'm so much more in control of my bike and no longer nervous but still cautious. I don't claim to be a pro or expert. I still make mistakes, and I'm sure I'll be learning until I give it up but man I love riding....

Good for you! I've just started riding this October, hopefully by this time next year I can say the same thing.

You're becoming one with the bike. Soon, if not already you'll be a well oiled machine. And any other vehicle just wont feel right, and you'll be dreaming of rounding corners on it when you're taking a break over the winter.

But I gotta ask why only 4800mi this year?!?!

Congrats on a a year of accident free riding and developing skills. Remain cautious but have fun. And remember, you are invisible to all cagers and they are all trying to kill you. Ride accordingly.

this was my 3rd season all together, 2nd season with my shadow I have put a little over 10,000 in two seasons (may - October)

First year here also. I've done 3k miles since mid-August, and I figure I'll put on another 500 easily before the snow flies. That's half a season around here, so I expect to ride @ 7k next year. I hear you about feeling at home on the bike, but I agree with vzshadow to remain cautious...and the love thing...well yeah.

I am looking forward to this summer (spring here ATM) as last summer I was sorting issues with the 1100 so mostly rode the 750 last summer... but then we dont get snow where I am (further south we do... actually snowed there today which is late for snow)

Being able to ride through winter means I have put 12K miles on over the year even with it off the road a fair bit... Don't commute to work on it as its too close and need the ute to cart the dog so its all fun riding.

I hope to put nearly that much again over summer

That would be the same amount as the bike has done over the last 21 years
