Some folks think I have an obsession about ryding my 2014 RT-S.
I do like to ryde it. But this has been a bad season. There was the
accident I had in late May. Then there were wear and tear parts
that needed replaced. Now the weather has turned here in Ohio.
My odometer has barely moved, only 18,463 miles this year. It
now has 160,900 total. But I know a 74 year old man who lives
close to me who rides a 2003 Yamaha FJR 1300. This particular
bike looks like it's never been washed, some parts held together with duct tape.
But it runs very well. It has 449,000 miles on it.
These last few years he averages over 60,000 miles a year. He
has changed tires, front and back 8 times this summer. He likes to
ride where I do, southeastern Ohio roads. If you see a silver Yamaha
with a blue tinted pulsating headlight with a snow white beard rider
wearing a Yellow helmet, it's probably him.
Here's to high mile ryders!
