how miles do u have on ur bike?

You have tail pipe sniffers in AZ?

 

WOW, first update notice I've gotten in quite some time. Forgot about this thread when I hit another major milestone last September:


Friends had advance notice of my intentions and a conspiracy was hatched, so this was dessert at last year's WDGAH gathering:


The caption on the cake is the R/R part number
I rolled the odo in the hotel parking lot that evening.

 

^pretty cool!! :thumbsup:

 

I am working on catching up. But a long way to go with just over 110,000 miles.

 

1984 VF1000RE. 88000km
1985 VF1000RF. 42000km
1994 VFR750F 27500km

 

'86 700 with 14,500 miles. Bike is not in front of me here at work for an exact figure, it's rainy today.

 

Well, you should be able to start closing the gap. :wink:
The viffer is in semi-retirement now. I got a new '13 Tiger 800XC in march for the long distance trips (heading to Labrador/Newfoundland this August on it)
I was in Bakersfield last June when the VFR's radiator started leaking (decade's old ding finally gave way was my diagnosis). Fortunately some Stopleak fixed the problem (better living through chemistry), but in the process I discovered that new replacement radiators were no longer available. I already knew that waterpumps are also no longer on the shelves (they are a wear item). The bike's reliability has never been much of an issue (r/r fickleness notwithstanding) but with the age, mileage, and now parts supply concerns, I won't venture too far from home with it. I don't want to be in the middle of a month long trip and find myself stuck for 2 weeks trying to scrounge fix-it parts off of ebay.

It is really weird looking at a 4 figure odo reading

 

That's awesome, Map. Congrats on reaching the 200K.

 

Thanks.
I posted this when the deed was accomplished (I just forgot to update this thread at the time).

While on Newfoundland, you should visit the small islands off
Newfoundlands south coast called St. Pierre et Miquelon. A quick ferry ride from Newfoundlands south coast. Then you can say you were in France. It is actually part of France.

 

It's on the radar, I've been in France before, but not on a m/c

 

There should be another "1" to the left of those numbers. Taken during our annual Septemeber ride. This was one of the spots we stopped. This is the view point at Mount St. Helen's. Pictures simply does not do this area any justice. The view is absolutely awe inspiring.

not enough . . .

And who's fault is that? Fix it Bud. It will give you character.

 

7500 miles on mine-4600=2900 miles I did all but one 30 mile rides,not bad the other guy did 4600 in 7 years.

 

Guilty as charged . . .

 

44,300 miles only 11k are mine but ive only had the bike 6months.

 

11K miles in 6 months is some serious harddass riding friend.
