30,000km in 14 months

**Unit:Me** · 29th November 2008, 21:22

Yep. The 14 ticked over 30,000kms last night as I headed north once again. What really really pissed me off was, I was determined to watch it tick over to 30,000, but when I next looked down (cause I was being sensible watching where I was going at warp speed of 100km hr at the time) it was reading 30,002km. Talk about wanting to rewind and do it again. I felt ripped off to say the least. Guess I have to wait for the big 50,000km to capture the moment again. Oh well, that means we have to keep the beast for another year.

Criiiiiiiiiky...hard to believe we've owned a bike for that long!
Outstanding road bike and have yet to be able to find that suits our needs worthy to replace it

Nice work, 30,000 kilometres of fun aye, can't ask for anything more than that!

... I'd be lucky to have done 3,000 ks in that time

Thats good going alright i take it you did both islands at least once if not 2 or 3 times

That's what I love to read! People getting out and about on their rides and using them for ... riding!

Bugs, stone chips, road-work splashes, jousting with cagers and reading the lie of the road ...

On ya Unit, one of the ridiest ridey girls I know!

Seems to go ok in a straight line too.....

I've done 10,000 in 7 months, not a bad haul I feel.

**banditrider** · 1st December 2008, 17:47

Bugger, I've only done 25,000 on the Connie in about the same time. About 2k on the VTR since I've had her too.

Best get out there a bit more then...

My mum told me to beware of girls like that.......

Good for you - I turned over 8,000 last weekend. Owned for the same amount of time. YOU WIN.

One question - whats wrong with 40,000kms - is 50k the new 40?
