Curiosity got to me... I just checked my speedo and as of right now I have 100,429 miles on the bike.The speedometer on the bike isn't correct. I did a 10, 228 mile trip with a broken speedo cable, ( got 2 miles from the house, looked down, and it didn't work)..but the GPS told me what to add to it.

Got home, went to the shop and was fixin to pull the cable out to replace it. When I removed the speedo I saw that the cable had come unscrewed from the speedo.

That was the trip where I went out and met Kioti and we went to the Glacier Natl. Park, then to a rally in Coos Bay, Orig on.
Went down thought Californication and staggered home.

I have a long way to go, but If I'm not mistaken I believe our fearless leader Trip has over 50K on Ruby Earl.

I just looked at the odometer and Im at 75,907 as of now. I figure by the end of this season I'll be around 90k. And by next summer I'll be turning a 100k on it.

Yes, half-way is about all we expect out of you BD. But hey, half-way is still better then a quarter of the way. :)
