Added another 700 miles this week. Rode to work twice, and cruised around with the wife Tuesday, and Saturday. We stopped at Mabry Mills on the Parkway, saw a '79 CBX, with 6500 miles, parked next to a pregnant porpose, next to a Duc 907 IE. What a sight.

It would be good if I could 'un-vote' then vote again. My miles travelled have increased by 35,000km since voting...

75km on my '06. Should finish the 2009 season with around 90,000km.

This was on 6-2-09 right after I got backed into, but the good news is I got my replacement forks & she will be adding to that figure this afternoon :blink: When she came to me 5/8/06 21,915.0

so 38,109 miles in 1124 days for an average of 33.9048 miles per day :fing02: No wonder why I have such a good outlook :biggrin:

My 06

has over 60,000 mile , and its all back roads

Tight as a drum, still looks and performs great, I've done alot of maintenance to keep it that way

I thought to myself...same here...in the 75,000km of travel, I've done oil (8K interval), tires (12K intervals), brakes (25K intervals), 2x the 36K service routine (all fluids & air filter) valve check at 45K (grrr... :biggrin: ), and finally spark plugs at 72K. And amazingly enough NOTHING has every broke...knock on wood...

Oh yeah, it also still runs sweet... :blink:

I'm still on original head stem bearings too, the first thing I did was tear down the front end and lube that area and snug it up when bike was NEW, they come loose right off the floor.

and I ride alot of rough road too, I'm kinda suprised I havent had issue yet, since so many thrash them in less than 20,000 mile it seems.

Next is the Forks seals, still original, I use special fork covering to keep debri off them and thin applications of armoral aide with keeping seal wipers from fragmenting.

The '99 (which I just bought last month) had 35k on it. ...now it has 40. My '96, which I sold a couple years ago, had 97,8xx on it when I sold it and still ran like a champ.

10,500 on my '01. I purchased it w/ about 9K on it 2 months ago. Been really crappy weather on the Northeast coast, but I'm doing my best to rack up some kitchen passes as I've been mainly commuting... Love this bike. It is stock except for the two bros slipon--sounds sweet but maybe a wee bit quiet...

This is my 1st post, bear with me as I'm not sure what I'm doing...

Between being deployed and training for deploying my 07 has right under 5k on the clock, picked it up new in the crate April 08. That should be resolved as soon as I get home though. We are planing a few Semper Rides and a 5 day trip to Boone, NC. As an added bonus I am getting a non-deployable duty station this winter. So, lots of extra ride time for me.

My '04 has 69k miles, and the '03 had 38k when Honda 'traded' me for the '04 (it had 3 miles on it when I got it in 2005).

My '99 has about 25,500 miles on it right now. When I bought it this past winter it had 21,000 miles. Valves were checked and everything was good, so I'm hoping to have this bike for a long time.
