Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I rubbed a boatload of dirt in it. Crashed directly into that wrist in the first 50 feet of trail on a techy corner and came out coated, but otherwise fine

 

I got mine with 579 miles on it 06/02/22. I'm right at 8K now.

 

KTM had 5600 when I bought it and swapped it at 7000 for my triumph. Not bad for owning it 4 months.

Triumph started at 0 and sold it as part of a relocation so only got to like 2800.

Africa Twin now had 6900 when I bought it and we'll see where it ends up

 

My 2013 FJR1300 has 64k, the 2014 FJR1300 has almost 69k miles, 1995 Buell is sitting at 48k I think, and the antique Honda CB400F has a little over 26k on it.

My 2007 FJR1300 had turned 127k the morning it got totaled. I have a friend with almost 350k miles on a 2005 Sportster so you better get out and start riding.

 

Ya ride long enough, it’s not if just when. Just hopefully not to serious when it does.

 

Mountain bikes thankfully dont quite have the consequences of motos, but I have enough scars to show your check gets cashed every once in a while.

 

People here trade often and or barely ever ride. That’s serious mileage. I barely rode last summer due to my crazy neighbor. Took all summer to get him held accountable for all the glass, barbwire and screws he threw. Finally got him arrested and protection order to stay away from my streets. Not before I had lots of tires to replace. Got to make up that time now. Just put in my request to ext with the court again.

 

Those too, plenty crashes on mine lol

 

Yeah, I'm a bit off the norms for most riders. I've loved riding since my first bike and have somewhere around 325-350k miles so far.

 

I'm in the high 40,000's on my F800GS. Can't remember exact off the top of my head but I think it's 48K something? 45Ksomething? idk..sub 1,000 on my Grom. No idea on my CT90 as it hasn't had a functional odometer most of it's life and the gauge has been swapped several times.

 

I’m nowhere close to you but way more than majority. I’ve had to slow down some due to my service connected issues, hopefully new meds helps. Totally helps me me decompress though.

 

Some serious mileage too, nice

 

I reset the Super Tenere trip after the oil change, but I only had a few miles on it before that. Not sure of the exact number but just over 300 miles since then. Nothing compared to most, but when you compare it to the 600 I put on the CB500X in a year (I'm pathetic, I know) it's a lot. Bigger trip planned soon as well, so it'll only go up from here.

 

It’s a start, all that matters.

 

I got the KLX beginning of December at 0 and I’ve put over 4000 on there now. Just rebuilt the scrambler speedo so it started at zero and I’ve put 1200ish on there since May 30th.

 

I'll sell you the one I have for a good price - $20 shipped. It's brand new.

 

Nice, that’s a good bit

 

Yes!

 

Send me a pm since imma forget haha

 

I put 30k in 13 yrs on my 919 before I sold it. bought it with 3400 mi and was just about to kiss 33400 when it rolled away.

I have put I think close to 7k miles on my super tenere since I bought it like 1.75 yrs ago, currently 28k miles on the clock.

Not sure if you know about the settings menu, turn the bike on (doesnt need to be running), hold the menu trigger button on the front of the left control pod (the one you use to scroll through the various screens), it will bring up things you can change (display brightness, grip heater strength levels, units, customizing of info screens, as well as a maintenance menu that you can reset for oil changes n such)

Then you can use the trips for keeping track of your actual trips vs miles from last maintenance.
