Happy New Year and 2021 in Pictures

Happy New Year !!!

Here's hoping 2022 is the year that sees an end to the pandemic and onto better things!

As the tradition it seems to have become, here's a compilation of pictures taken during 2021, I hope you like them:

The usual stats:

Motorcycle mileages

This year it worked out to be a downward trend  for Yagi and Scarlett.  This being the first year I've owned the Sammy, not a big surprise eh?

Total mileage ridden in 2020 = 3556 (-48% over last year) and very pitiful when compared to the totals for 2010 when I apparently first posted end of year mileages achieved: 16941 miles!

Scarlett:  Ending odometer reading 68562 = 1145 Km or 687 Miles (worse than last year) 

Brigitta ('87 BMW R80): Ending Odometer 101.811 = 932  Miles or 1491 km (almost double than last year's sad figure)

Yagi: Ending odometer: 15286 = 1947 Miles or 3115 Km (almost half than last year)

Totals since 2010 (missing 2011-12)

Total motorcycle mileages

RV Stats:

We went camping for 216 days or two weeks more than last year.  That works out to 59% of the year vice 55%  last year)

Umarang: ending Mileage: 80864 = 10,964 Miles for 2021. ( 1364 miles more than 2020), starting mileage under our ownership: 20,240 back in 2016.

The Sammy: Ending mileage 91631 - 9700 towed miles = 5870 driven or actual miles

Happy New Years Dom,

Enjoyed your year in photos. Noticed your two photos of sand dunes, Sand Mountain and the Great Sand Dunes National Park (GSDNP), Were you disappointed in GSDNP? I was expecting to see bright white sand like Sand Mountain, arriving to see a dull beige in the distance, was disappointing.

Have not been to White Sands in southern New Mexico yet.

Am joining MotoQuest on a tour down to Cabo San Lucas in February. Plan to take the BMW GSA rig, but I tell you,that Goldwing with the DCT trans is getting to be my favorite. I must be getting lazy, shifting requires so much effort....lol.

Then riding to Lake Shasta for a Day Long seat on the Goldwing in April.

Abrazos
CCjon

Thanks for the comments CCjon and Happy New Year to you and yours as well.

Yeah, the Great Sand Dunes isn't exactly white sand is it? I think catching it on the right day of sunlight is key and even then....

The White Sands National Monument is superb....

The Imperial Sand Dunes in CA near the border with Yuma is the best I've seen so far in terms of rideable dunes.

I must’ve missed this post earlier. Thanks for the reminder on the more recent post. We enjoyed the year in review slideshow.

Glad you liked it, RichardM, I sometimes think people miss a post because I post them too close to each other at times.

Must have missed this post, Dom. What a great compilation of pics, and your "on the move" stats are overall impressive. Meanwhile my own mileage on motorised wheels has been in serious decline. That's what living in a city with great infrastructure (buses and trains), plus everything in walking distance and a home office job does to me... All the best and thanks for showing us your part of the world through your lenses. SonjaM

Thank you SonjaM, you weren't the only one to miss the posting, kind of makes me wonder how I could have ensured it wasn't.

Thanks also for the comments, and yes all the conditions you describe would lead to very little progress in terms of motorized mileage eh?
