Doesn't happen every day and wasn't something I wanted to miss.

Top effort!

Mrs H rides on her trip meter, so missed that photo op on her K6 GSF650 about 7,500km ago.

Wish I could claim them all - but was still cool to get to take the photo

I call bullshit. Chances of hitting those numbers when you pull into your garage are next to nothing. How many trips up and down the driveway did it take :bleh: Or did you plan your trips incredibly carefully :shifty:

Congrats. My 05 Hornet hit 100,000km earlier this year... not a bad effort when it's pretty much just done commuting since 06 and 26,000km.

Where's the 100,000km shot, or is it now broken?

Breifly I was impressed you had the forethought to zero your trip meter 1000 km's beforehand.

Nice work indeed, I like clocking my vehicles too. The next one will be te truck in August at 400,000km.

Wish I wasn't so precious with the bikes. One due to click over 60, will happen before Xmas. Another due to click over 60, will happen before next Christmas. Too many projects but I have wee something up my sleeve that might crack 20 a week, totally for my suburban entertainment.

It was staged, 2 laps around the block and then 2 runs down to the end of our street, 6 circles at the end of the street and then up into the garage.

Mind you the trip counter wasn't synced I just wound that baby round to read 999.9

Guess I'll get the 00,000.0 next ride out as I get to the bottom of the driveway.

Next one after that'll be 9999.9 in about 18 months would be my best guess.

Look at this poshy bugger with fuel gauges and what not.

May it have another 99,999 more :blink:

You should have redlined it when you took the photo to get 9999 on the tacho as well!

I once had an old GS1000s click over to all the zero's ... I had to stop on the side of the road ... in the middle of no-where.

(actually it was the Waitaki valley ... but that's the same thing :pinch: )

Congrats Mate, staged or not its a great feeling to see high K's click over and the bike running well., lets see if you can get her to 250,000?

701km to go for me, hopefully I'll get my new clocks ready to go by then, so I'll can leave it maxed out forever!

tempting - but having just spent $1250 on consumables (servicing, tyres and braided lines) I think I'll keep her for a bit longer.

Bikes last this long? Hyo is currently sitting over 60,000k's dunno how much it has left :(

Nice. Well done:niceone:
How many did you do yourself?

NinjaNanna
18th June 2012, 18:10
I wish I could say most but I only did about 6,000 of them - to be honest it was one of the reasons I bought the bike, but figured I'd never clock that many myself.
