2021 Mileage Summary
We had 21 participants reporting on mileage for 50 motorcycles. The total club mileage was 218,893 miles of which 132,625 miles were done on BMW brand motorcycles.
The average mileage based on the numbers above was 10,423.5 miles per participant. President Chris Marshall had the closest to average with 10,830 miles.
The average mileage for the 23 BMW motorcycles was 5766.3. Diana Davis came closest to that with 5472 miles on her 2015 R1200GS.
The top three finishers were only separated by 1483 miles.
Third place in total mileage and top BMW finisher was Bill Clevenger with 25,482 miles, all on three BMW motorcycles.
Second place total mileage was Will Pugh. He put 25,770 miles on his Yamaha Super Tenere and Honda CRF250.
Finally, with 26,965 miles on nine different motorcycles was Geoffrey Greene. I think he should have ridden 35 more miles to get it to 27K.
Congratulations to the winners. Everybody else, myself included, just needs to ride more.
