Title: 234567 - And still rolling.
Post by: fz1grl on August 24, 2015, 06:03:56 PM
Well it's an odd milestone but I got a pic at 234567 - probably won't mess with it again until 300k but you never know.

Those darn Rice Burners will never last....said the cruiser rider pouring another quart of 50w into his Milwaukee iron at roadside!   :)

And I thought I was doing good to put 120,000 on the ST1100! We are not worthy!

If you haven't already passed it, you could always do a 123456 odometer shot...that's pretty cool too.

I was riding my '85 GL1200 a few days ago and someone asked about my mileage. Sneaking up on 150,000 miles I know it's just getting warmed up...they were astounded. I purchased this bike in 2002 with about 56,000 miles on it. It'll likely be the first bike I've personally ridden more than 100,000 miles. I've had several bikes that have had more than 100,000 miles, but they all had part of those miles racked up by someone else.

It had 8119 miles on it when I bought and 119,739 when I traded it in on the ST1300 in 2006. Still running as far as I know. IIRC, Dan Thomas put over 300,000 on his ST1100. He did a Four Corners ride tod so on the way to STAR in Mamoth Lakes! Sold on the Long Distance Riders forum.
