The last 20k on mine (40-60k), its like time has stood still, feels the same as 40k.

Gonna get overtaken by Mr GiJoe at some point shortly

Meh

we both know that any bikes we own, the resale value will have dropped through the floor! ... unless you clock it, then run up moar milage that sounds roughly what is *normally* done in a year by *normal* bikers (is there such a thing?

)

Done the oil change on lil'ol'hornet, was sitting there purring away happily - next on the list will be to do a repaint on the tank and tail, new rear hugger, braided brake lines ...

And there has been 1400km added to it now

Being ridden by a lovely Angel who enjoys the riding as much as it does!

Believe it or not, this Sunday past I was done your neck of the woods! Left Auckland at 12.30am and I got to Wellywood at 7am! Picked up a friend and pillioned her back to Auckies in one big trip!

Sorry I didn't drop a text but I guess that most people like a lie in on a Sunday!

Tch!

Typical, I share a moment of biking grief and pain and you cut me to the quick sirrah! Lor' knows that was a sore testing time for me, I was at the lowest of lows, the nadir of my senses, forsooth, I was forsaken from the freedom of the vestibule of the biking gods!

There in the laps of destitute denizens of stationary situations I languished!

Oh! How I suffered!
Oh! The pain!

But, wait, what light yonder breaks? It is a portal of opportunity to ride! To make good my loss milage and recoup the sensibilities that sustains my soul!

Verily, I am not vexed, a mildly contentment suffuses, salves and gives balm to my biking yearning.

Tarry not long in the doldrums of confinement, for as bikers we seek new vistas to cast our speculum occularis opon!

Ride ye well ye merry souls and let not the asphalt touch other than thy steed's vulcanised shod hooves!
