    Congrats on the milestone!!! I hit 10,000 on Cocaine today while taking a little ride. Unfortunately, it took me 8 months and I didn't get a photo. So between The Beast and Cocaine I have ridden 22,000 miles in just 23 months. I must be getting old, and gotta step up my game!!!

    I hit 93,000 on the way home from TX Hill Country. Now I'm starting to wish I could roll back the miles. Anyone in the market for a 2014 RTS with 93,000 miles? I didn't think so.

    But Ann,
    In just 7,000 short miles: it'll be a brand-new bike again!
    You have to let us know when you reach 99.000... we all want to watch the countdown to 100K!!

    Default It Matters NOT

    what the odometer says on your Spyder. What does matter (to me) is the absolute joy and pleasure I receive from RYDING my Red Stallion...and the incredible people that are now a permanent part of my life...YEP YEP that is what racks up the points in my Spyder Adventures...
    (so you're curious..Picked up Red May 1...smidge over 15,000 or was that 16,000???) Only mileage I really look at is for next service...Gotta keep Red a happy machine!!!
    Have an awesome day/weekend....yep still able to ryde here...sometimes requires a few layers and rain gear...but it is alllll GREAT.

    So true about the joy and the people. Soon, I'll be ryding to SW Missouri to get my trailer then to SpyderPops for service before the end of touring season. If I can get sone heated gear, I'll get to continue ryding through the winter.

    Both you ladies absolutely rock. It was our great pleasure to meet you for a week back in 2015 when you visited our state. And thanks to Murphybrown for getting the whole idea started and following through with it. You made many adventurers happy.
