    Default 10,000 miles

    Passed 10,000 miles this morning on my 2013 RTL



    Yeah, i know that the fact that it took me 2.5 years to do that is not all that much to write home about. But to me... it felt good. It's been 10,000 miles of pure joy!

    My dear wife, bless her heart, was not all that impressed when I told her about it, so I thought I'd tell you guys.

    Way to go. I am hoping to hit that milestone this week. Hopefully the weather cooperates and it isn't too windy. Our nicest day this week is going to be Tuesday and I have polling duty for the election.

    I got the same reception when I told my wife about rolling the big 10.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Thank's Dave.

    Haven't seen you guys lately. Hope the two of you are enjoying that ST this Spring. I am going on the Chesapeake Bay ride next weekend, weather permitting. Are you guys going along?

    Thanks, Bob. There have been MANY toothy grins behind my helmet's tinted face plate, that no one has ever seen.

    Default Rob, me too!

    I thought it was great when I turned over 10,000 miles, only had one other bike long enough to put that many miles on it.
    I am now closing in on 30,000 with my 2013 RT-S.
    This bike is just fantastic to get on the rode and take nice long rides.
