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.

Same here. 22 years of riding. Never counted but well over the 100K miles mark.

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.

Wow! That's a nice variety!! :drool: Which do you like better, the KX or the Gas Gas?

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.
