Yeah a special person, huh...

Trip · 04-16-2009, 10:44 AM

6883 miles, you really didn't like riding it did ya. This new one better have more than that just this year alone.

Gas Man · 04-16-2009, 10:56 AM

Yeah.. in 06 the bike didnt live with me cause i worked out of town, then i moved n that didnt help cause the wife was still at the old digs. so then i had two places to deal with===suck

07 was good

08 was down right miserable as previously said. i might hv done only 1200 miles n the wife only a few hundred. == suck

grand total == mega suck

honestly it shud be more like 8xxx miles cause i rode it twice for months without a working speedo. its on its third speedo.

got over 600 on the new ride already

it's funny how the miles rack up on a new bike... I wasn't really try'n and had 1100 in 7 days

(I was off work all 7 days) the bike has probably racked up another 100 since

just needed my truck to move stuff after work and shit.

when I get home the truck's gonna be parked for a while... with a for sale sign. so should milage should pick up again

Ain't that the truth Ebbs

If this flood and F'd up hours/weather ever quit, I should start getting miles on mine again too.

I'm guessing that the april 30 TD is out of the question now though...

Well for those of you that may give 2 shits... I'll lay out the most recent updates.

I did a set of new speakers
http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=7455

Then I ordered a few other things within 2 orders.

the new air wing luggauge rack for the tourpack.

Then decided that the optional brake light might look good under there...

So I ordered that in the smoked lens.

I originally was setup to run as a running light but I wanted it to be just a brake light for more attention.

Also, picked up a lid organizer to help maximize space usage for upcoming travels.

Then for the long hauls I ordered a fully adustable backrest.

Started the install by mounting the mechanism

Run the cable and mount the lever

The seat goes back on and you don't even know the difference

grab the backrest itself

Instant, fully adjustable comfort

Put in for a new amp for my b-day, so we'll see if I get that this weekend.

Beyond that I think I'm done. Just got the bike back today from its 1k service (I always take every bike in for its first service). So I just want to put on some miles... can't wait to ride to work tomry.
