san antonio, tx | Between 15K - 20K per year. I use mine for daily commuting, weekend getaways, and occasional out of state business trips. The only time I drive my truck is when it just isn't practical to ride the bike. |

New Mexico | I voted 10-15k/year, but on thinking about it should have put 15-20k. Figured 27k on a 2009, but bought new in June 2010.
Wish I had a longer commute!

Flowery Branch Ga | I did over 9000 but less than 10000, so I clicked 10-15 thousand. I do more miles on the bike than the truck per year. My commute is only 11 miles 1 way if I don't take the long way home. Flowery Branch Ga.

Chino Valley, AZ | Got my 08 on June 7th and have over 13,000 on it since so I put 10,000 to 15,000. I figure 2,000 to 3,000 more before the year ends. If this year is normal for central Arizona I should be able to put on 1,000 to 1,500 per month before spring |

| I put 10-15K. Unlike others I don't ride to work. 2 blocks ain't worth opening the garage door for, not to mention not good for the bike. Can I say 99.9% pleasure miles? I live in lovely downtown Pawcatuck, CT. (SE corner) Maybe I would have more miles if I could ride "south"? The only bad side of living by the ocean. I put 70 on yesterday and did lunch with the family.  |

Okeefenokee Swamp | I bought my girl new in December of 08 and will have had her for 3 years on December 8th. I just rolled over 40,000 miles. I actually, have not ridden as much this past year so it screwed up my average. By the end of 2012 I will have bumped it back up. |

South Central Pennsylvania | <p>15-20 annual mileage, guestimated as I just recvd my Vision this past May, and have not yet had a full annual. So far the Odometer is reading just shy of 16k for this year, and have a few more months to round it out. My daily commute is from York Pa to King of Prussia (2 hours + 2 hours) and I take the Vision every day. Rain is not an issue, the truck only comes out if there is snow, ice, or salt on the roads.</p><p>Use the Vision for Daily commute, weekend getaways, and jaunts to the store for milk and beer.</p>

Northern NJ | I've been lucky to be in the 15K-20K range for the last five years.
Over 19,000 last year and coming up on 19,000 this year again.
We hope to ride more than 20,000 in 2012.
The Vision is a great bike for riding and travelling.
Our 08 was purchased in April 2010 and it has over 29K on the odometer.
Our 09 was purchased in August 2010 and it has over 9K on the odomenter.

Oregon. | I put just over 10,000 miles on the bike this year. 2 IBA rides and commuting to work helped put the miles on. It is absolutely the most comfortable bike I have ever owned. Eugene, OR. |

Brighton, TN | Hello, My Name is Pollolittle,
This is my fourth year in the program and it really does consume a lot of my time and energy. I commute a lot because I work and I have to. I sometimes get loose for some joy riding but only with the wife. I Ride around Western Tennessee and ride daily to work cause I have to. I don't really see how I will ever be able to break the pattern, it really does have a hold on my soul and existence. I can't break it cause I don't want to. So, it appears I will be here for a lot longer than originally planned. The wife thought this would be a big waste of money and that I would only ride it occassionally. I ride so much that she gets angry cause my dirt bike gets ridden too, which irritates her. I was told to take the car this morning cause it might rain, I defied the powers that be and rode anyway. My mother in law thinks I should wear shoes when I go outside too.
I have more to say, but I'll let someone else have a turn, but when it comes past my way again, everyone please take a small break and hit the head, gee dunk, and the scuttlebutt before I get started again, cause it might be awhile before I am done. |

| Have had my Vision 3 and a half months. 10,500 miles so far.... And I don't ride mine to work either, as it's only 2 miles. Not worth starting up a v-twin motor if it's not gonna get hot. Guess I'm averaging right at 3k miles a month.

| Prior to meeting my wife I used to average around 25,000 miles a year. Since I starting dating my wife my annual mileage has continually dropped even though she rides her own bike, to this year I only rode around 6,000 miles. I sure it doesn't help that I am fortunate (or maybe not!) that the drive to my shop is only 22 miles round trip and before dating my wife I would usually stretch out the ride home to 150 to 200 miles. It is amazing how demanding a woman can be when she wants you home right after work so that "we" can do the things that she plans out (which more often than not does not include going for a weekday evening ride)! |

| For years I was over 15 thousand and that was weekends and evening rides. Now thanks to our country leaders I'm down to maybe 12 thousand.
If the government didn't screw you and I we would all be up with Rollin seeing our great country. |
