Fast Pat Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Birdbrain - 2019-12-03 1:03 PM We've just done without looking as near as damn it 50.000 miles in 12 years while both of us are working , we dont have a scooter just bikes and I wouldnt like to say how many mies we've covered on those or how many miles covered walking or using local buses , trains and trams ... We've also like you had holidays on those naughty planes in and among with my missus having her girls week abroad n'all ... I wasn't attempting to say youve done less or more miles than anyone else , everyone who has a motorhome cover the miles they cover and its no competition , I was only questioning your being away half of the last 10 years claim which is as youve shown is false So you've done just over 4,000 a year, Jesus I've cycled more than that each year and that's whilst I've been working full time. It explains a lot about your limited view of the world, you've clearly accepted as fact anything you've read in your right wing papers and websites. As a great man once said "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Barryd999 - 2019-12-03 2:55 PM How have I shown it as false? This year and last year its only been about three or four months but other years its been as many as eight or nine so on average we probably have been away half of the past ten years. We dont do Winter touring anymore so that average will come down I guess but in terms of nights away over a decade I reckon without working it out its close to half the year. You should know by now Barry when you write "half", it has to mean exactly that in the argumentative world of Brainless who'd disagree with his own shadow. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe includes the UK by the way but as I said most of our trips into Mainland Europe are four to six months with a few trips usually in the UK as well. Without counting that sounds pretty much like nearly or maybe more than half the year over a decade. Apart from the last two years where we stayed in one spot for several months and Ive explained some of the reasons for that but when you balance it all out over ten years I bet its half a year or near enough.

In 2017 we did Germany and France, just over four months but we did less than 4000 miles in the van and over 4000 on the scooter. Van gets parked and just left and most of the actual site seeing and touring about is done on the bike. We did the entire French Cote D'Azur as part of that trip and as part of a five month trip in 2015 and the van only saw the sea once. Did it all on the bike.

Careful Barry....Braindead will be asking you to post photos of your bike odometer next. ;-) Must admit i always recorded my tour trip mileage in a diary plus as each time i refuelled i'd 'neck' the tank so i'd note the mileage on the receipts too which would give me a pretty close idea of my mpg. Also useful reminders of the pump price cost......Polish fuel prices barely changed, but all were lower than UK, even German Autobahn prices.

Cant say I've ever been that poor 8-) ........ Even when I could only afford cheap wine :D ....... Eh? :-S Looks like i need help you out with some basics for "early learners" like yourself. *-) Reason i 'neck' the tank at each fill up when on tour is that's the easiest way of getting an mpg figure, as precise as possible. Nothing at all to do with affordability.....purely an interest in knowing how the mpg averages out. I've always done the same with cars (on a long run) but the rest of time, run around with quarter or half tank max. No point lugging extra weight around when it's not needed.
