W/NG - mileage

 It occurred to me recently that the mileages I record against each of the maintenance activities in my spreadsheets are inaccurate for bikes which have had their engines rebuilt since I've owned them. 

This issue is not really a problem for any of them except the W/NG which I rode for a while before I rebuilt the engine, so the engine related maintenance activities are not being held at the right mileage. 

This became a bit of an obsession for a few hours following my return from a two week trip to France for my daughter's wedding. After a bit of digging I found this receipt for the speedo rebuild:

Since I didn't have any records of any activities against maintenance activities, though I have hundreds of blog posts recording to work I have done, I went through all the pictures I had of the bike showing the speedo and recorded the dates and the mileages:

• September 2017 - first ride in my ownership
• February 2018 - 185 miles
• September 2018 - 383 miles
• October 2018 - 422 miles
• August 2019 - big service, documented in this post, probably about 600-650 miles.
• August 2020 - the engine rebuild, probably at around 1000 miles
• March 2022 - 1485 miles
• February 2023 - 2023 miles
• April 2023 - 2124 miles
• April 2023 - 2133 miles
• August 2023 - ridden to Tom's, and pictured in this post. It stayed there for two years.
• September 2025 - retrieved from Tom's as documented in this post.

As will be seen in this blog, various small jobs ensued and the W/NG is now the daily rider. Maintenance is now properly documented in it's own Excel spreadsheet - listed in this page.
