When we're at home something like 5000 Km a year, when we're on a big trip 170 Km/day, which has worked out at 49,000 Km in 11 months (South American), 45,000 Km in 10 months (Africa), and 45,000 Km in 10 months (Australia).
So, our answer is A and C.

You're not working undercover for the insurance industry are you  
At the start of this year I'd have anticipated my mileage to be somewhere around 30k or so in a variety of vehicles. We had a close to 10k trip in the US planned, a 5k trip to North Africa, and three or four 3k (ish) trips to Scandinavia and the Alps. Add in regular day to day stuff / trips in the UK and I'd easily be over 30k. What I've actually done is 5k in the Land Rover (according to the MOT records), about 3k in my wife's Mini and about 500 on bikes. That's Corona virus and lockdowns for you.

When I was commuting to work and riding the bike at weekends for pleasure around 20,000 miles a year and a similar amount when travelling, now I am retired it is down to more like 2,000 when at home but more while travelling. I now do as many on a bicycle on which I now do four out of five journeys.

Love to see how much others are riding! This year ive done around 14,000 miles since I got my Transalp. All of this was in England and Wales due to covid, but I was able to do my first bike camping trips. This has given me the travel bug massively! I hope next year to keep a similar milage up!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
