Recently rolled over 100,000 km, or about 62,000 miles and all is well (runs as well as it ever has... although it is in the shop awaiting a freshening up with new heads, Yosh cams,... damn back ordered case gaskets holding everything up!!!!)

a 98 with 15k miles. i've had it for 3 years. got it with 8k on it. i've got a short commute!
was thinking that we should have a counter on the left under our screen names that has our bike's total miles similar to our total number of posts. maybe the system could keep a running grand total of the miles by all the members of our group combined.

Heya, filter69. I have some deep ties to your part of the country. Welcome. That sounds like a really cool bike. Your riding season is a little shorter than some of the other guys but still - it is a cream puff. Enjoy!
There's lots of slabs out there because it's so flat. That's the way it is in Central Texas too.
The river valleys and country roads that run along the rivers are a blast. You'll have to trailer up some cold February and come ride with us. Forties and fifties would feel like a summer blast for you about then!
I'll bet the Corn Palace is in full swing this time of the year!

Superbling 98 model: 35,000 miles before it sold (replaced waterpump, clutch, and r/r besides usual stuff)
Caffeine racer has the USA (and possibly world) record that I know of: 100+ thousand miles of canyon riding he proudly points out and so would I.

21K on my 02. Bought it in 05 with 2K on it. Nothing but tires, a chain and sprockets and springs.
Addendum: Just started hearing some intermittent ticking up front. CCT paranoia or not, She's parked and APEs should be here on Monday.
Add-addendm: Valves checked and were fine, APEs installed and back on the road. The front valve cover and CCT are both a bitch to work with, but do-able.
