Mileage

cactusjack · 07-13-2013, 10:23 AM

Just figured it out, my trip to the Rally and back was 2329.9 miles.

2552 here Scott.

Well gentlemen, Cindy and I traveled 4797.7 miles according to my GPS.

cactusjack · 07-13-2013, 12:09 PM

Well Tim, that would make sense since NY is a lot farther from CO than AZ is.

Really, I wondered why it took us so long to get there.

**coacha** · 07-13-2013, 12:30 PM

My mileage was 4868 back to the house. Did a little side trip to Albuquerque, NM on the way back.

We just counting raw miles here right? I mean like, let's say a guy goes to sleep in Tennessee, and wakes up two days later in Colorado whether by jet or steam locomotive and stayed sauced the whole time.

Or are we splitting hairs here and sayin', "Only mileage on bikes count."?

cactusjack · 07-13-2013, 01:35 PM

Bike mileage only. Hemorrhoids earned from riding shotgun in an air conditioned truck don't count.

Splittin hairs ?
It was a motorcycle rally Mike.
You are supposed to RIDE your motorcycle to a Motorcycle rally.
If you trailered it you don't even get credit for riding the motorcycle around Estes Park.
You have to subtract all trailer miles from total actual "on bike" miles.
Trailers are for wimps

Although I didn't get to go to the rally, I did take a New England trip, and I did get to meet up with TC, and I did stay in a Holiday Inn one night, but my trip was 3,297.4 miles by the GPS, and my fuel mileage average for the whole trip was 37 MPG pulling a trailer.

You can always get to another rally Cliff but how many chances will there be to meet up with me

I think you made the right choice

**BudMan** · 07-13-2013, 08:02 PM

2191 miles for us.

Sometimes your good heart comes shining through, TC, no matter how hard you try to hide it, I tell you what.

Well hell! If I subtract trailer miles from bike miles, I'm at like negative -4300 miles, cause I only rode to the liquor store across the street and ate boiled eggs and sweet rolls three time a day that I swiped from the breakfast bar.

I think that whole trip only cost me bout $20 cause Tom paid for the gas and rooms. And gained miles on the bike somehow another.
