SWCOG Mileage Challenge

[OMoaC]

Here's the game. Open to SW COG members only. Join during the year and your in. Send me a pic of your current ODO reading, Year, Make (kaw, Hon, HD, BMW) Model (C14, C10, KLR, ST, FJ), Name, COG number and forum handle. Make sure your pic is time/date stamped. Can this be manipulated? Yes. Do I trust our members? Yes. If it's obvious I'll toss it out. If your a current member you have my email addy. I'll start a file. At the end of Jan 30 2018 send me a pic of the then current ODO reading. Again time/date stamped. Jan 30 2018 is the cutoff. Those that post the most mileage 1st through 3rd shall receive a very nice plaque denoting their accomplishment and suffer the jealous barbs and comments from other SW COG members  I'll ask that you write a short story of your rides and how you accomplished this task for the Concourier. You can post up your pics here also but it is not official until I have rec'd your email and you are in the file. When I receive your pic I will confirm. If I don't confirm something went wrong. Follow up. It doesn't matter when you send the 1st dated pic (if you can do 20k miles between Dec 1 and Jan 30 your golden). File will be posted for all to see after the end of the challenge. Challenge extended. Challenge accepted?

Sounds like fun, OMC.
I'd play - but my goals for riding on two-wheels this year are more of the pedal than throttle type.
I still plan to get out and ride - but sure doubt I will hit any high mileage numbers.

Throw it out there Bruce. Ya never know and your grandkids may have a trophy to hang on the wall  :beerchug:

 

[CaffeineMan]

Aw, man...  Shoulda done this last year, when I did my 3600 mile round trip ride to Big Bend and back.

Now I have to go to Texas again this year just for the mileage.  ;D

 

[OMoaC]

No one wants to play? Oh Well. Nothing ventured.....................

 

[notsluggo]

No photo available - but I track my opening mileage for all my vehicles on a yearly basis.

I kicked off 2017 with 32016 miles on Connie.

As I said - I'll be trying to pedal more miles than throttle this year - we'll see how many I can stack up (for each).

 

[CaffeineMan]

I'm in.  Stuff going on but I'll post my mileage soon.

Givin' the first statement not so sure I can win this one. :truce:

[mike.burkey4@gmail.com]

Well, nearly. Lets say I was taking the puddles upright for a reason.  Thing was DONE.  After that high-side at the track, you'd think I'd learn my lesson about tires huh?

This should be a good time,  I will send a photo of the odometer,  of my 2015 bmw k1600 starting this year with 29, 109 miles,  my question is,  what happens when I ride more than 1 bike,  I have the k1600, and my triumph tiger, , last year I put 15, 000 miles on the k1600 and 3200 miles on the tiger,  I'll send you a photo soon

What happens when you ride the K1600 AND the Tiger???  :-[ 
You box up some of that extra cash you have lying around and mail it  straight on down to me Charlie.  That's what you do you..........spoilt brat!! 

 

[CaffeineMan]

I think multiple bikes count, but we need classes, like the 24 hours of Daytona:

- GT Daytona (working stiffs)
- GT LeMans (retirees)
- Prototypes (gypsies  ;D)

What denominations do you prefer,  you are welcome to come borrow whenever you get bored, I hate to see things go unused, id much rather try to wear something out

 

[Wandrng]

OK, I'm in.  Little late to the game and it will cost me a few hundred lost miles, but...

As of 2/12/2017 my 2015 has 30,271 miles  -- and now she's back to completely black and sportin' Charlies saddlebags. Couple of pics from today's ride after the mileage snap.

 

[Motomaniac]

Ok Finally my mileage!  Of course I have an additional 44,000 miles on the bike. Replaced the console under warranty a couple of years ago.

Hoping to actually get a ride or two in with ya' this year.  I'm planning on a total of zero high-sides this season!!  :

[Motomaniac]

Well I guess I will be the first to reply....I put on 14,300 miles last year! So I know there are plenty of others that put on more!

What say you?  :motonoises:  :motonoises:  :great:

 

[Motomaniac]

Oops! I guess I have till January 31st....ok I will send my picture with additional miles  :nananana: then! Good luck all!

:motonoises: :motonoises:  :great:

 

[OMoaC]

Hope to bag another K by end of month. Now I need to figure out a prize.

 

[ping jockey]

after Rusty posted his mileage... I'm out...my paltry, disappointing mileage, i didn't even wear out a set of tires, but then again I did Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona, So good on you guys that got more than 8K and change

 

[cinnamon]

How about a lowest miles acknowledgement, 0 miles on any motorcycle and lil' over 1000 on my van.  Jerry Gaither

 

[Gumby]

6,262 miles in a year :-[

Guess that is what happens when one buys a new truck with a heated steering wheel, just don't feel the need to ride a bike in the cooler months anymore.

That's pitiful Tom. I say sell the truck! You must have gotten 2/3 of that from traveling to the Nationals. You going to at least double that this year aren't you?

Cliff  :beerchug:

 

[ping jockey]

Actually, I blame Old Man on a Connie. At the nationals in Cortez,  he had that toy hauler travel trailer and one thing led to another and now i have a 5th wheel toy hauler and trailered the bike everywhere. Yea Mark,  its all on you brother

 

[OMoaC]

A chance to bag some more miles before the cutoff. Unfortunately Russ will be bagging same :'(. http://forum.cog-online.org/southwest-events/san-juan-capistrano-to-palm-desert-ortega-highway-friday-january-19th/

 

[tjnoma99]

Are you guys gonna do this again? I wanna play but i just got my C14.

 

[OMoaC]

New game starts Jan 30 BUT you must post a pic of your ODO as of.

 

[OMoaC]

Get your photos ready. Tick Tock the time is closing in. Get ready for the 2018 challenge.

 

[OMoaC]

Well, much like the instructions in the box while assembling your kids toy on Christmas day (or IKEA furniture), they were quickly discarded and no one followed them. Look Honey, they sent us spare bolts  :truce:. Hell of a 1st time try though. Ya'll that are playing have 5 more days to post pics. Looks like Russ has the lead so far but I think Keith "Wandring" may give him a run. Shall he have the plaque of Honor for 2017? Let's see. Proposing this game again for 2018 with some simplified rules. Stand by to Stand by.

 

[Gumby]

I can't play without photobucket....  :'(

 

[OMoaC]

Here's my closing pic. Sadly only 7654 for '17  :'( Lost about 3k while in Europe and downtime to do the valve adjust. Also the opening salvo for the 2018 SW Mileage Challenge. Role Call!  :beerchug:

 

[lather]

This thread reminds me  we have a few coggers over at my mileage site who have not updated in a long time.
http://www.wfr-ridersclub.com/miles/miles.asp

Click select a group and then Concours Owners Group. You can still update your 2017 miles.  :motonoises:

 

[denver6]

Pitiful 3,601 miles in 2017. I blame bad hip (now replaced) and new truck.


At least I don't have to replace tires this spring...  :??:


Starting the 2018 challenge with 31751 miles.

 

[Gypsy JR]

Here is my closing mileage. I slowed down a lot after my coast-to-coast. Loaded it up in trailer and fled to GA during the hurricane, came back and went into winter camp a month early.

Since she's a trailer queen, I'll never get as much mileage on her again probably.  :beerchug:

 

[Wandrng]

And... my final numbers  odo:45018  so that's what...  14747 miles

 

[Motomaniac]

So I ended up riding 15,795 miles last year. No work miles....though I would have loved to ride my bike for/to work. All fun miles... with a bunch of men and women that love to ride!  Picture coming... now with picture!

:motonoises:    :motonoises:  :great:

 

[Motomaniac]

Picture is up! Added it this morning!

:motonoises:  :motonoises:  :great:

 

[OMoaC]

Well there it is folks. Looks like Russ has 1st and Keith with a close 2nd. Who is 3rd? Not me as I recuse meself. Shout out for 3rd place, 2018 challenge posted. Now to decide on awards. Who amongst 1st and 2nd are traveling to the National in Kerrville?

 

[Motomaniac]

I am going to try to make The National...I do have a room there. Should be a fun time.... In the next couple of months I will know for sure.

:motonoises:  :motonoises:  :great:

 

[OMoaC]

Here is my proposal for prizes. 1st place gets a 1 year membership, 2nd gets a 20 dollar gift card or a dinner at a COG event paid for. Or would you rather have a wall hanger trinket? Tshirt?  Gift certs to the COG store? You tell me. Congrats Russ and Keith!

I think what I would like for a prize is to see a donation to the Over the Pond group from the Southwest and a bunch of stickers to use on our Alps trip later this year. If you are ok with that
