Hey
You picking on me? How's the water over on your side of the Mountain? Finally letting up here - water table is still so high the water it a constant flow out of my well - What a mess. (Add in them trying to complete a pipeline build that goes by my house) Just ain't pretty around here.

Sure they can. There used to be a high mileage site that's gone now that listed bikes like Gary's. I saw a couple Goldwings with over 400K and a BMW or two too. I know of one guy in Texas that put over 500K on a BMW Oil Head.

The person who bought my old Voyager sent me this photo a while back, he’s at 703k now and the only repair the bike has needed is a blown headlight bulb. No rest for a great Kawasaki!

Original engine went 402k without issue, replaced only due to a bent shift fork. Second engine was from a salvage bike with 13k so who knows how it was used or abused before I got it.

What mileage do you have on your other bikes now Garry? Are those still the Super Tenere plus now a Gold Wing?

Congratulations on the new Tracer I added a 2019 Yamaha MT10 to my stable last June. Considered the Tracer but, I already have the Vaquero and a Suzuki C109 so, I wanted something to get my blood pumping once in a while.
Ride safe, Bob |
