A new world record. Sort of....

[TonyMac]

Ok, this morning on the way to work I finally broke 5,000 miles on my Spyder. The world record is how long it took. I picked it up in July 2008 and just crossed 5K this morning. I ride it nearly every day to work but I only live 3.9 miles from work.

On the plus side, it has been garage kept at home and at work so it looks and runs like brand new. I've never had a major problem with it either. (note the liquid sunshine on the windshield)

I read so many stories here about you iron butts going over 25, 50 thousand, I have to hang my head in shame :bowdown:

It's a record, but a dubious one at that. I'm so embarrassed pps:

I'm behind you in mileage. But, my excuse is that I took a year off last year due to health reasons. I hope to rectify things this coming season. I've got a few mods to get done to make 2-up ryding better. I'll never by a high miler. But I sure do enjoy the ryding I am able to do.

Just get out there and enjoy every minute in the saddle. It's not a contest. To each his own. Just enjoy!

Congrats on the mileage marker. Time for a pin and a patch!!!

:congrats: & :agree: it's no contest. It's all about the ENJOYMENT you get with every mile you ryde a :spyder: hyea:

 

[GI Jane]

I agree, 5K is 5K, so congrats on a milestone hit! I am willing to bet that you are smilng that entire 4 mile ride to and from every day, huh? You can't help it! Here's wishing you many, many more care free miles ahead. :2thumbs:

I noticed you haven't gotten the odometer upgrade done yet. I believe once it is done, you lose the tenths of a mile. By the way, congrats.

It's not really the miles you ride, but the love of the ride. Makes sense?

Congrats on reaching your milestone!

And I am not so sure about losing that 1/10 mile place. Both the hubby and I had the odometer update and we still have our 1/10 mile place.
