    Woot 10,000km today!

    Well I just thought that I would share with everyone. I've just ridden my first 10,000kms mile(km)age today. It's funny to look back to 6 months ago when I was a total motorcycle noob who couldn't stunt, do wheelies or any of that stuff. Oh wait! I still am a total motorcycle noob who can't stunt, do wheelies or any of that other stuff.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to many more roads travelled!

    I managed to do 10,000 in my first 6 months as well, nothing like getting out there as often as possible! Keep her shiny side up!

    Wow! And I used to think 2000km in a day was a big ride.

    Seriously, Well done. You have passed that first big hurdle of learning to be one with your bike. Now its a matter of learning your limits: Just how many kms in a day is enough; how to be comfortable on less than ideal surfaces etc.

    Enjoy it.
    Time to ride

    Marvin the paranoid android says,
    the first 100,000km's are the worst... after that things just go into a steady decline!!

    Well done mate... Those first 'milestones' are always great to reach..... see you in 990,000 k's
    If the road to hell is paved with good intentions; and a man is judged by his deeds and his actions, why say it's the thought that counts? -GrayWolf
