    I am over 15K on my 2012 RS-S SM5, and the only 2 issues I have had with it have been caused by the roads I am forced to travel on in this state. I hope to reach 30k by the end of the riding season. Rubber down, Shiny side up, and enjoy the ride.

    Just sayin'............
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............
