Damn. The clock ticked over 25,000km this morning. That's in a little under seventeen months...didn't expect to go crazy when I got another bike...at this rate it will wear out before I do...:wacko:
So much for "saving petrol by communting on a bike..." :Oops:

Nowt wrong with starting out gradually.

Keep at it and soon enough you'll be clocking up 40000 a year. And from there on the sky's the limit.

You can start clocking up the km a bit faster once the bike's run in.

You do seem to get more pleasurable rides out of your bike than most do, so well done on your 25k.

Thank you YellowDog. I do enjoy it immensely. Pity about the years I wasted without a bike really but then I might not be liking it so much now if I hadn't gone without...absence maketh the fart go honda y'know...hmmm hang on, something screwy there - it's a Suzuki innit? goldurnmuthafukkinsonuvvamumbletybum...bloody blank bits seem to be joining up these days...

I don't spend as much time on the bike as either you ro Devil, but I can't believe that 35,000km rolled around on the clock on the Zed in the Sth Island last weekend or that I've owned it for nearly 4 years.

Great thing about modern bikes (shut up sonny) is that with regular fettling a cuple of freshened up components you can easily expect 10 years of thrashing without major mechanical mayhem.

Congrats!
