So let hear it, how many miles have your ridden? Sorry for the purely miles thing, the metric crowd will have to convert :wink:

I have around 40 000 miles clocked.

I have over 60,000 in the last three years. I'm just going to assume it's been over 100,000 miles in 25 years of riding bikes.

60 000 in 3 years, who ever you buy tires from must love you.

LoL- it helps to have multiple bikes to carry the load. Still cheaper than car insurance.

What bikes do you have in your stable? :cowboy: If I remember correctly, one of them is a V-Strom?

Vstrom 650
GL 1800
Xs 850 with sidecar (in pieces for frame and body painting)
cb 360
ex 250
Gsxr 750
Kx 250
Gas Gas 280

Though I suffer from SMAS enough that that list changes quite a bit. I've sold a magna v30, 2 XZ550's, a gs 850 and a kz 400 in the last two years. Turned a nice profit on each one too.

We stumbled off topic here. Oh well :wink: . The KX is a fantastic machine but the Gas Gas eats boulders. It's too tough for me to dare say anything not glorifying its power.
