Lifetime motorcycle mileage?

[0to60]

Ive put about 40,000 miles on a combination of two bikes : 1986 Honda Intercepter 500 (1992-1995) and a 1996 Suzuki Bandit 600s (2002-present). I ride all 4 seasons

well lets see. i had about 9k on my 95 katana when i got rid of it, i put 20k on my 97 gsxr in 18 months, before i had my kids. rode all the time. put about 7k on a magna i had for one summer. had almost 30k on my 00 bandit 1200 before i wadded it. and have 32000 on my triple now. so i would have to say close to 100k in 10 years or so of riding.  i commute alot now. dont do as many long rides as i did before kids.

I figure somewhere over 180,000 miles. I put about 16,000 on my '80 GS450S, 106,000 on my '85 Nighthawk S, 36,000 on my Bandit so far, 13,000 on my KLR, somewhere over 10,000 on my wife's bikes and my other bikes. Between 18 to 22-24 years of age, I rode alot. I almost never went very far, but I rode alot. After that I mostly just commuted year 'round which didn't add up to much, because I live town. I finally started sport-touring in 2002, but I don't do hardly any local riding except commuting. In contrast, I only put about 5000 miles on my truck in the past 6 years! Of course, whenever I go somewhere with my wife, and I can't talk her into riding, we usually take her car.

Hmmm....a head-scratcher, this is.
My brother-in-law's 1963 Honda Cub step-through ~2000 miles (yes, they WERE painful)
My first bike, a new 1965 Honda Benly 150 ~ 6000 miles (a great little bike)
My second bike, a new 1967 Honda Dream 305 ~10,000 miles (and what an evil handling brute it was, after riding the Benly)
My third bike, a new 1970 Honda CB750K0 ~30,000 miles (I've never lusted after anything like I did for that Honda, before or since....even including the women in my life   )
Various dirt bikes (all Suzukis) that I rode from 1974 until I got back into street biking in 1988 ~5000 miles (Yeah, I know, I really shouldn't count the miles on dirt bikes.....rather maybe 5000 HOURS..... )
My fourth bike, a "brand new" 1976 Suzuki GT550 (bought in 1988) which currently has ~6000 miles on it (when I got it, it had 660....yes 660....miles on it)
My fifth bike, an all original 1982 Suzuki GS750E which I bought in 1998 and which was a very faithful steed ~ 30,000 miles. I'm still sorry I sold it, but I just didn't have the room for it AND the new Bandit.
My sixth bike, a totally rebuilt 1973 Kawi H2A, ~ 8, 000 miles since putting it back on the road in 2002 (yes, these were painful miles too)
My seventh bike, my new '06 B12S which currently has about 5000 miles on it since the middle of May, 2006.
Hey...the Bandit is lucky number 7 in my pantheon of street bikes.....if you include my brother-in-law's Cub (which I rode wayyyy more than he ever did anyway). There must be some kind of cosmic significance happening here, especially since my frame number ends in 7.......
