A new world record. Sort of....

[TonyMac]

Ok, this morning on the way to work I finally broke 5,000 miles on my Spyder. The world record is how long it took. I picked it up in July 2008 and just crossed 5K this morning. I ride it nearly every day to work but I only live 3.9 miles from work.

On the plus side, it has been garage kept at home and at work so it looks and runs like brand new. I've never had a major problem with it either. (note the liquid sunshine on the windshield)

I read so many stories here about you iron butts going over 25, 50 thousand, I have to hang my head in shame

It's a record, but a dubious one at that. I'm so embarrassed

5K is still 5K... and I'm still 1,500 miles behind you!

[Slybird]

.....now onward and upward.....

[boborgera]

Let tell you something i know some hard core two wheelers,
Who haven't put 3 thousand miles on their trailer queens in over 5 years.
So again.

[ARtraveler]

and with the above. Ride when and where you can. Every ride is a good one.

[DynamoBT]

I'm behind you in mileage. But, my excuse is that I took a year off last year due to health reasons. I hope to rectify things this coming season. I've got a few mods to get done to make 2-up ryding better. I'll never by a high miler. But I sure do enjoy the ryding I am able to do.

Just get out there and enjoy every minute in the saddle. It's not a contest. To each his own. Just enjoy!

Congrats on the mileage marker. Time for a pin and a patch!!!

[CyncySpyder]

& it's no contest. It's all about the ENJOYMENT you get with every mile you ryde a

[GI Jane]

It's not so much how many miles you ride, as it is how much you enjoy the ride!

on your 5K



Look out 10K 2014 or bust !

I agree, 5K is 5K, so congrats on a milestone hit! I am willing to bet that you are smilng that entire 4 mile ride to and from every day, huh? You can't help it! Here's wishing you many, many more care free miles ahead.

A nice achievement, cheers!

I noticed you haven't gotten the odometer upgrade done yet. I believe once it is done, you lose the tenths of a mile. By the way, congrats.

[Dudley]

It's not really the miles you ride, but the love of the ride. Makes sense?

[Lamonster]

[docdoru]

Congrats on reaching your milestone!

And I am not so sure about losing that 1/10 mile place. Both the hubby and I had the odometer update and we still have our 1/10 mile place.

I know, I read the post. But I am telling you that we both had ours done on January 29th and we still have the 1/10 position on our odometers. The hubby has 7000 something and I have 31000 something miles. So I dunno what's up with that.

[TonyMac]

You guys are the best! Thanks for all the positive words.

That's why I love this place!

I'll have to look into the software update. I just had the dealer service it and do all outstanding bulletins. Hmm.

My suspicion would be that the cluster update didn't take. Perhaps the BUDS was the wrong version, or the tech did a different update. There is no way to keep the odometer from locking up without getting rid of the tenths. There is also no way to know what will happen until it is too late.

I am right behind you...almost at 5000! I purchased my 1st generation Spyder back in August of 2008 from Woods Fun Center in Austin, TX. Like you, I keep mine garaged and have never had ANY issues with it. Looks and runs like NEW
