My bikes recorded a total of 10,203 miles this year.
My lowest annnual total since 1998.
The Wing (5,964) did under 6,000 miles in a year for the first time.
The KH500 had a final 30 miles added to its meagre total, before
seeking pastures new in the Lake District.
The Blackbird's total of 3,257 was its highest annual mileage since
2001.
The CBX did 952 miles, mostly over two weekends - Chimay and EOSM.
Reasons for a such a pitiful performance?
Only one TOG tour? No, Chimay cancels that out.
Only one trip to the in-laws? Possibly. Still only 1500 miles, though.
Ah. Gottit.
Only doing 1,967 miles on the RBR, compared to 6.5; 6.0; 8.0 and 6.9k
in previous years.
Resolution for 2006 - get it sorted.
Motorcycling highlights of 2005?
1: The howl of a (my) CBX motor accelerating up hill.
2: Chimay.
3: Riding(hah!) Bonners's ZX-10R. =8-0
4: Platy's campsite acrobatic display.
5: That final farewell blast on the KH500. Sheer stupidity.
6: Fork Untrys inner day. KSBs in tunnels.
... and the lowlights?
1: Selling the KH500.
2: The niggly problems with the Wing.
3: RBR shambles on my part.
4: The demise of the Comfy Chair.
5: Selling the TS250, when it started 4th kick after a 2 year lay-up.
