From those I was actually riding Pam 485 days.
The total distance was 163,045 Km or 101,903 miles, which took 2,686 hours with an average speed of 61 Km/h.
I spent 5 ½ hours a day in the saddle, riding an average of 336 Km per day.
The largest distance in one day was 980 km in Alaska, where the days last for ever. The shortest was 1 Km when I changed hotels in Quetta, Pakistan.
In these 3 years I have used 8,581 liter of gasoline, the cheapest being 2,8 euro-cents in Venezuela and the most expensive being 1,10 euro in the Netherlands.
I also used 46 liter of engine oil in 17 oil changes and a few 'top-ups'. I replaced the oil-filter 7 times.
12 rear and 13 front tires
5 sets of brake pads for the front. Only 1 for the rear.
8 drive chains and 6 sets of sprockets
20 sparkplugs
2 ½ steering head bearings and 5 wheel bearings
1 brake lever
2 clutch cables (and 3 repairs)
1 speedometer cable
1 set of clutch plates
1 fuel pump
1 voltage regulator
Lots of duck-tape and tie-rips
