This is from a couple years ago: You will never see something like this again. The X1 was parked with a torn isolator. Swapping bikes around, I purposely ran the XB9R up to matching the miles on the X1. This left the XB12R with a few hundred miles short of matching the miles of the other two bikes. I figured it would 'match' half way into one of the work rides. Forgetting "that" mental note, I took off to a work party and when I got home, I realized that I may have missed the mark. Went back into the garage, turned the key on and BINGO, the miles on it matched The total of 18,399 miles is no benchmark by any means, but pretty damned good for me, considering I have very limited time for recreational miles since I started building a new house by myself. That my friends takes up a lot of time.(boo!) Work rides is about all I get anymore till the house is done On the other hand, lifetime motorcycle miles is in the realm of 4 or 5 time around the globe......... |

Your a weirdo! No, there's a name for that. I can't remember, but it's one of those psychotic terms. That is pretty impressive, but it's going to be complicated. If you go on a long ride, it will take two friends to ride the others to keep things in balance. |

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Psychiatric speak for "weirdo". But, yeah - that is pretty cool. Nice catch. |

Anal Retentive, is what they used to call it, but yeah weirdo works. Funny thing is I drive so many different vehicles it happens more than you'd think. Mind you the rig I was driving last night had 1,088,000. km on the clock. Not bad for a 5 year old Volvo. Don't think any of my own vehicles will catch that. |

This actually got me thinking on the way into work today. I have an 04 silverado with about 36k on the odometer, an 08 civic with 31k on the odometer, and a 00 X1 with 13k on the odometer. If I just don't drive the civic much and pile the miles up on the Buell maybe I could have a trifecta? |
