I hit the 100K mile mark on my way to work today. I'll post my mileage again at 200,000 or until my Italian mistress dies, whichever comes first!

Where: Benson, Arizona, USA
When: 21 Oct 09, 0555 local
Temp: 46 degrees fahrenheit

WOW. Nice man. Congrats

Arkansawyer · 10-21-2009, 09:36 PM

Good show!

camaros67s · 10-21-2009, 11:12 PM

how often did you check the valves? I change the oil every 3k-4k and 10k on major service at shop. Will hit 30k next spring and would love to hit 100,000 in the future.

Yes, some info about replaced parts, oil consumption, preventive maintenance etc would be nice to hear,

RSVRFACTORY · 10-22-2009, 01:39 AM

how fast did you get to 100K? the bike looks good (wouldnt think it had that much road time)

SpitfireTriple · 10-22-2009, 01:55 AM

Hurrah!

Kyytsö · 10-22-2009, 02:22 AM

So blue is the fastest color? It got to 100kilo Miles first...

Dr_Jakob · 10-22-2009, 02:57 AM

Congrats!

Well done on the first 100,000 miles,mine is hardly used compared to that 21,000

zam70 · 10-22-2009, 06:11 AM

I'd be very interested in what "issues" you had along the way as well...

I'm at a paltry 31000 on mine - such an under achiever

rdbandkab · 10-22-2009, 07:08 AM

cool.

meanstrk · 10-22-2009, 07:42 AM

SWEET!

I only have another 56K to go!

BizJetGuy · 10-22-2009, 09:11 AM

That means I'm still in break-in...

Awesome, can't wait to see the 200k mile post!

Outstanding, it must have something to do with the dry heat in Arizona or maybe the Sun Devils
