2012 MILEAGE REPORT

Post by shoresr »

1,627,751.6 TOTAL MILES FROM 115 RIDERS LOGGED AS OF 3/18/13!!

CALLING ALL ROMEOs, the 2012 riding year has ended. I am anxiously recording miles for the 2012 riding year. This is not a contest and there will be no prizes, awards and no audit. I will post the information, if you will send me, 1) approximate miles ridden Jan-Dec 2012, 2) the motorcycles you rode this on—make, model and year, 2) your first name and city, 3) highlights of your riding this year.

Here is a link to what was turned in 2010. http://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewt ... =20&t=1022 (1st year 25 riders turned in 409,657 miles)
Here is a link to what was turned in 2011. http://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewt ... f=9&t=1583 (2nd year 77 riders turned in 1,209,282 miles)

In 2012 we had 77 riders turn in 1,209,282 miles. We have 486 people that have signed up and there are numerous that have never signed up. If 77 rode that many miles my goal is to get 150 guys to report and reach 2,000,000 miles!!

You may not think what you have done this year is of interest to anyone, but I think you would be surprised. I am always interested to hear how far guys are riding or if they just go to Romeo lunches, the different bikes guys enjoy riding, some are new, some old, some big, some small, and most of all where did you go this year. Maybe you went to Eskridge, KS or maybe to Alaska. Please share no matter how grand or how small everyone will enjoy. If you have been to a lunch. YOU ARE A ROMEO. If you don't know you mileage let us hear from you anyway. This is our only way of finding out who we are, what we are riding and where we are from. Send info to Roger, twowheels2eat@yahoo.com

NEW THIS YEAR...I have made a map showing the towns where everyone who reported miles lives. http://tinyurl.com/Romeo-Riders Click on the plus sign (top left) to make it bigger. Push and continue holding down your left mouse button to move the map around.

Hey Roger, Don't know if my miles will count, but I rode 8,895 miles on my 2000 BMW R1100RT in 2012. Sadly, most of them were logged riding to and from WORK. But my favorite miles were the 3,500 miles ridden to the Beartooth Rendezvous in Red Lodge, MT with dad (Mike H.), Spike, Don S., Ron R. and George L. It was a great trip with great guys.
Thanks for including me in ROMEO lunches!

Thanks largely to being in Scotland for 3 weeks, my mileage is not so hot for 2011 :?: :( . Had a great trip to Barber Museum and Vintage Days :D in October, easily one of the better trips for 2012. Highly recommend this trip to all, great museum, great vintage motorcycle racing and a good swap meet and the Museum is only 20 miles from the Talladega Super Speedway, another visit I highly recommend. So, total mileage for 2012 - 9,060 miles on 5 bikes with most of the miles on the BMW. Gonna have more bikes to ride in 2013 :o :o .

The year started off well, but ended poorly. a breakdown would be 4--Tires (and one not safe to ride on, but will wait for spring) 5--Oil Changes (with 4 more due before spring) Countless conversations, stories told, stories heard, time shared with friends. 11,000 miles. Guess I should ride more, talk less.... Don from greater downtown Wakarusa...Motorcycles are like Potato chips One is never enough

11,080 MILES...HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC...MICK L....LAWRENCE, KS
Roger, I ride a 2008 HD Electra Glide Classic. In 2012 I rode 11,080 miles, mostly since I retired in the spring. Most of those miles were attending ROMEO lunches weekly with Eastern Kansas and Kansas City and about 9 with Southeast Kansas and 1 with the North Central group. I have enjoyed making new friends and look forward to the lunches every week. Mick L., Lawrence

My big trip this year was a circle thru Ok., Tx., N.M., Az, Nv., Ut., Co.,and Ks, 3,220 miles. Alone, so I could stop alot and take pictures! Good friends, good food and looking forward to the new year. Roger, Gary and Randy (and others) thanks for so many great Tuesday rides and more.

11,200 MILES...2000 BMW R1100RT...TRICIA T...KANSAS CITY, MO
My mileage for 2012 was 11,200 as close as we can figure. I had some odometer problems so the actual mileage shown on the bikes totaled a little over 20,000, but that was impossible since I didn't take a "major" trip this year. I am still in California so won't be there in Parkville. Unfortunately, I am not on the bike. Tricia

Hi Roger, Another great year of riding. Most of the miles on the Victory were logged on a tour of the Pacific Coast with Gary, Roxy, Jim and Vivian. A good portion of the remaining miles were recorded doing ROMEO lunches and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow ROMEO riders. I had planned to add a few miles to the 2012 total on New Year's Eve and start the 2013 miles on New Year's Day but Mother Nature didn't cooperate. Looking forward to another fun year with the ROMEOs.
2012 Victory Cross Country Tour - 9,413
2008 BMW R1200RT - 3,510
2008 Kawasaki KLR650 - 425
1974 Honda CB360 - 1 - Got it running and put it on back burner so I could work on RD400
1976 Yamaha RD400 - 0 - It now runs fine and I'm working on the hydraulic brakes. Almost done.
Thanks for all you do,
Bob


13,400 MILES...HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING POLICE...DAN D....LONE JACK, MO
Roger, My mileage won't set any records but for me it's a lot of riding; mostly short runs of 50 miles or less. I've now put 13,400 mi on the Road King Police since I started riding it late last winter. This might help push the overall total for everyone up some though. Remember, I have to divide my travel between two-wheelin' and aviation!!! Keep up the good work for the KC ROMEOs! We really enjoy it. I doubt that it would be quite the same with anyone else pulling the strings... looking forward to seeing your new ride around soon! Happy New Year! Dan

15,800 MILES...3 BIKES...JERRY M....CYPRESS, TX
"Last year (2012) was the year of changing bikes for me. In April I sold my BMW K1200GT that I had for 4 years and 45,000 miles. It was just time for something different. That left me with my 2005 Vstrom 650 that I rode to Alaska the previous year (summer of 2011).

I really enjoyed the Vstrom and rode it to Colorado to the BMW Riders Assoc National Rally, and then to Missouri to the BMW MOA National Rally. Pretty cheeky riding a Suzuki to both BMW national rallies! But after all that I thought, while the 650 is a very capable bike, it just wasn't enough as an "only" bike.

So I started looking and decided (with the help and assistance of all my BMW friends) to get a GS. In September I found a 2008 1200GS and only had to go to Peoria, IL to get it. I bought the GS at the end of September and by the end of the year I had 4350 miles on it. That included the 1000 miles to ride it home from Peoria, a trip out to west Texas to the Big Bend National Park, and lots of local rides with the BMW club here in Houston.

Then I decided that I really didn't need two dual sport bikes. So the Vstrom had to go. I finally sold it in December. Now I am down to a single bike again. I sold the Vstrom for $400 more than I paid for it 2 years and 25,000 miles ago! What a great bike though - I would have another one! So my mileage totals for the year are:

2008 BMW 1200GS - 4350
2004 BMW K1200GT - 1650
2005 Vstrom 650 - 9800

Not bad but not like the year before!
I hope you all are enjoying your miles, no matter how many you ride!
Jerry

Roger, I made 48 of the 52 regular scheduled rides, two rides to Fubblers Cove, Grand Lake spring ride, Marble Falls fall ride and 30 SEK rides totaling 82 Romeo rides for 2012. My goal for 2012 was 52, beat it by 30. With the good
weather through last spring most of the rides were made on the bike. Eight of the 48 were made in the car. This has been a real good year.

17,644 MILES...2009 SILVER WING & 2009 BURGMAN...AL H....OLATHE, KS

17,700 MILES...HARLEY DAVIDSON ELECTRI GLIDE...WALLY B....LONE JACK, MO
I have made two trips annually to California and return for the past 7 years. I depart here around 4 May and in 2007 Myself along with four buddies spent the night on 4 may 2007 in the town of Greensburg Ks That was the evening that this town disappeared in a EF-5 tornado. After digging our bikes out of concrete blocks they all ran and we headed back home.All five bikes were totaled out by our insurance companies. At that time I rode a 2005 v-star 1100 with 44,000 miles. This past father's day my son bought me a 2008 Harley electri glide that had 7,900 miles on it. It since has made a trip to Sturgis then to Oregon and then back home. It has also made a trip to Richmond, Va this past July. Total miles this year for both bikes was 17,700 Hopefully next year if health keeps good, I can log milage from here to Maine via Florida route. Heres hoping.

17,803 miles total: '05 ST1300 (16,611 mi) '09 KLR 650 (934 mi) '12 XR1200X (753 mi) - Roger Smith, Wichita, KS

18,800 MILES...2 BIKES...MIKE H....SHAWNEE, KS
Roger, My mileage for 2012 18,800 miles. Mostly on Romeo rides. One long ride, to Red Lodge, Montana, to the Beartooth Beemers Rendezvous, which was just a tick over 3400 miles. Most on the '96 Goldwing, with a little over 800 of it on the '72 CB750. Another good year! Hope everyone (that wanted to) got to see and read about our adventure to Red Lodge, captured on film and word, by my son Craig. Obviously, weeds and dirt are not just the home of dirt and dual sport bikes, one can also spot a Can-Am on occasion!
Happy New Year, Mike

Had some really great riding this year. The drought hasn't been good for much, but it has been pretty good for riding. My riding highlights are: Bucky's Great Northwest Ride to Glacier National Park with Tom and Mel, Wisconsin up to Door County with my wife and other relatives, Colorado camping and mountain excursions with Bucky on a V-Strom, two or three BMW rallies thrown in here or there, a couple of trips to southern Missouri and Arkansas, traveled the backroads in Louisiana with my wife, and many great Romeo lunches and pie runs in cool Kansas towns.

These are the longer rides on each bike. I rode the VFR to Arkansas 3 different times this year. The KLR went to Colorado on a gravel pass ride. Rode the GoldWing to New Mexico and down thru Texas. Rode the Harley to Glacer NP and around the Northwest. My old XS Yamaha just went to a few lunch rides. And my latest, new to me, 1975 Honda 750 Super Sport, I rode to a couple lunches and several rides out thru the Flint Hills.
VFR 5K
KLR 7K
GW 10K
HD 14K
XS 2K SS 2K
TOTAL 40K
I have put between 39 and 42k each year since being retired. Most of it with several good ROMEO"S

42,520 MILES...2009 HONDA GOLD WING GL1800...ROGER S....LEAWOOD, KS
Well, I guess riding for this year is over. Last year on Dec 31 I turned over 100,000 miles on the odometer of my 2009 Honda Gold Wing GL1800 at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, MO. I just went to the garage and my odometer reads 142,520. 42,520 is a little less miles than last year but I traded my bike for a 2013 Gold Wing in November and the new bike won't be here until mid January and the dealer asked me if I could "hold it down as much as possible".
It was a great year. Probably our best ride was the "RAT" Ride, Ride Around Texas, where a group of us rode to every corner of Texas, logging over 4,200 miles. Our longest ride was the GWRRA FORTY TO PHOENIX. We rode to Key West Florida, Southernmost Point of the US then to Wrightsville, SC and on to Phoenix, 6,748 miles. Starting with our trip to Wing Ding this summer we embarked on a new riding adventure, the IRONBUTT "National Parks Ride". We are in the process of visiting 50 national parks in 25 states in one year. So far, we have visited 33 National Parks in 16 States!! We are loving the experience and have seen and learned a lot.


43,691 MILES...4 BIKES...DAVE W....HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA!!
Roger, I rode 5,536 on 1999 HD Ultra..4,144 on 2006 Burgman 650 (sold 2/28/12)..2008 650 Burgman 650 (traded for 2012 650 Burgman 4/29/12)..27,156 miles on 2012 Burgman 650. Ride most every day. Winters are not too bad. Use Gerbings heated clothing. Live 72 miles from Blue Ridge Parkway. 200 miles from the coast. I can ride a motorcycle better than trying to use this computer. Just got it...Ride safe and have fun on the road

While his 87 Tour Glide was definitely a gem of a bike, Willett's meticulous service records can be credited as the primary source for Ole' Charlie's long life. With a total mileage of 416,479, the H-D execs in Wisconsin heard about Willett's miracle motorcycle and asked him to bring it in for a closer look. To his surprise, they offered him a brand new 1999 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic in exchange for Ole' Charlie. They just had to know what made him tick. Reluctantly, Willett "donated" his old buddy to science so to speak and rode off into the sunset on Ole' Charlie II.

50,819 MILES...MY TWO HONDA GOLD WINGS GL1800'S...JOHN E....SHAWNEE, KS
Trips included a soggy spring ROMEO rendezvous in Oklahoma and a fall rendezvous in Arkansas where the weather was perfect. I also road most of the perimeter of Texas early in the year and went back in the fall for a ROMEO get together in Alpine. I caught quite a few ROMEO lunch rides, too. Among other trips, I took a two week trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and back through Oregon and northern California. The highlight of the year was a 10,000 mile trip through Canada to Alaska and back (I was in cool, comfortable Alaska when you were fighting the heat in August ;-) ) :lol:
IT'S NOT EASY TO RIDE 50,000 MILES IN ONE YEAR!
IT'S NOT EASY TO RIDE 50,000 MILES IN ONE YEAR!
:lol: CONGRATULATIONS, JOHN!! That is a tremendous accomplishment. We always enjoy riding with you.

I made a map showing the location of all the ROMEOs that have turned in Miles for 2012. Do you like it? If you want your name and town listed...send me some miles or just an email. It would be nice to see who we are and where we live....

You can make the map smaller by moving the bar on the +/- on the top left (hold the left mouse button down and slide the pointed up or down)

You can move the map to different places by just hold the left mouse button down and move it around.

Remember you can't hurt anything, don't be afraid to experiment.

We are currently at 884,000 miles http://www.romeoriders.com/forums/viewt ... f=9&t=2197

OK, we are coming to the end of this MILEAGE POSTING. Last year I quit on January 19th.

We are at 1,481,330.6 miles with 101 riders responding :!: This posting job is about to outgrow me, but isn't that remarkable. Hopefully we will make the 1,500,000 mile mark. However I am just as excited about the number of riders as I am about the miles. Last year we had 77 which I knew was not a good respresentation of our number. 101 is a lot better. I would still like to post guys who don't know what their mileage is. I can leave the mileage blank. If you aren't registered on the Romeo site, please register and write down you password. Roger S. from the Wichita group says he is rounding up some miles and will be sending them in. Richard did a real good job of reporting miles from out Lindsborg way.

Thanks to all of you who reported and all of you that have helped. The Romoes ARE neat.

I have also tried to make a map of the towns where we live. Currently it only shows those that have sent in miles. If you send in you bike or bikes, first name, last initial and your hometown, I will add you to the map. I hope you will. Here is a link to that map. You can also see what Romeo lives in your town....

It is not over, but it looks like our 'HIGH MILEAGE" rider of the year is going to be John E., with 50,819 miles!! John has been everywhere and he makes two or three ROMEO lunches a week. John is a safe rider and is always a pleasure to ride with. Melissa and I have ridden many miles with John and it is always an adventure. He is a master at finding the best roads and the best food.
