Are these numbers done by Michigan or California numbers. Never thought I would see a math lesson on a motorcycle forum. Also if milage will vary so will hours.

WGAS, your original claim was about percentage of moving time, not total time.

It's worth discussing and isn't necessarily idiotic. I've dropped the bike on pavement about 8 times (including the most minor drops like yesterday's gentle stepoff and laydown caused by stalling the motor in a locked turn). I've also flopped three times washing out the front at around 10 miles an hour. It hurts but I rode the bike home. I hate dropping the bike on pavement but I'm not scared of it. The saving grace is the slow speed. If there's no significant horizontal energy then it's all verticle and the distance to the ground on a street bike is less than most people would fall from a standing position. Another interesting thing about the pavement drops is my helmet has never touched the pavement, a testimony to the tremendous natural protection of shoulder and neck muscles. There can still be a terrible injury but the risk would have to be less way way less than from traffic and higher speeds on the road.

I hope we get this figured out pretty soon, we still have: "hovering" and "bucket stop" to figure out

I think moving time is a more useful measure than miles. I keep an eye on that number with my own riding

bucket stops y0
so 5000 hours of moving time, and you've covered 10 miles total?

I like how beginner is tormenting all the holier than thou posers. 
Don't like the thread - don't read it. WTF is the problem? You really think he can topple the world on his own?

Agreed with MikeyRocks about guilty pleasure.
Gary define torment? I've been laughing my ass off since I opened this thread. Please stay and share your thoughts.

Come on Gary, you didn't laugh at Shervin? The guy that holed his ECU? New Flava, Helmet Girl? What about Mouth Girl?
Makes me hate myself but I can't help myself.

I just read this thread, which until today I was totally and happily unaware of.
beginner is the greatest troll I have ever seen. He is truly a wizard who muddles minds with a figure-eight wave of his 2X4 wand.
Or - and this seems equally likely - he is an autistic mama's boy whose idea of fun is to reduce every activity to a series of motion studies. Then, following rigorous analysis, all of the enjoyment can be processed out and safely disposed of.
