    Default 100K Miles

    Yesterday rolled up 100,000 miles in 6 years, 2 months, 8 days. Without ever going anywhere overnight.

    I guess that, and $1.95, will get me a cup of coffee at the nearest Greasy Spoon. Right?

    Nope. 13,900. The 100K is across two machines.

    The Michelin still barely shows any wear (but I haven't attempted to measure the tread).

    Nope: it's just 67,400 miles. If I ever get that picture, the total would be 132,600 miles.

    Congrats, may you have 100,000 more! That was on just one bike right? That's a boat load of oil changes. What do you use for oil? I know guy's I shouldn't ask the question but I just had to!!

    NO overnight trips? all those miles in Texas is still ALOT of circles to not stay somewhere overnight earned some IBA marks for that

    $1.95 is why I said Greasy Spoon. I don't drink coffee on the road, so I don't know how much it costs anymore. Starbucks is what? 8 bucks or so?

    But I've been known to have a brewski or twoski along the way... (in VERY low traffic areas, like you say: "on a backroad in the country").

    Oh, wait. That's for the French toast.

    So far, I've only used the standard BRP kits. The nice thing about the 1330 is you don't even have to check it for 9,000 miles. I sometimes do, just for something to do when it's raining, but when checking it I find that I didn't really need to bother.
