high mileage

[Captain Haddock]

and I'm suspicious of anything with less than 3000 miles/year. WTF have the owners been doing with them?

I bet I struggle to do 1000 miles/year, 500 would surprise me, I live 3 mins walk from work so firing the bike up would rot the internals with condensation, I spend weekends boating and drinking so that rules out biking, it's just an expensive toy realy, years ago I'd be embarrased by such an admission but thats how life turns out.
