Well I'm happy to say.... my bike and I have made it to the 200,000 mile mark! - Page 4

How many bikes ever even get a chance to hit 200k? 100k? 99% of the bikes out there either dont hardly get ridden, just sit, get wrecked, or just replaced with something new.

Also, jared, pretty damn bad ass

I know several folks with old 'Wings at the half-million mile mark. Does that count?

Yeh I know a few that go that far too, but really for every new bike sold how many get wrecked and how many jsut sit? What does 1 out of every 200,000 bikes made make this kind of mileage.

And there is a huge difference between a goldwing and an f41

Super cool!

Can't wait til' my Busa gets that far! She's knockin' on 70k now! Still a few days to go!

Do you use the MXT40 Motorcycle Oil OR the Mobil1 Full Syn. 10W40 car oil? I don't like the car oil because that type of oil has "seal conditioner", which swells up seals so they don't leak.
