    Half way there

    I know it's not the most miles on a bike, but it's more than most. Mainly for me, it's a personal accomplishment. It happened on Saturday.



    A pic of the bike where it happened. Kind of in the middle of no where, south of the WY/CO state line about 20 miles.

    You must be fast, 'cuz I was haulin' ass when I passed you.

    The Gixxer is getting close to that number, probably would have hit it already if hadn't bought another bike and let the poor gixxer sit in the garage.

    I've been well past 1000 posts. It's just that some jackass admin lost part of the posts a while back.

    Would've been close on my 05 SV, but the insurance totalled it. Got 13,000 in 14 months on the current SV.

    Congrats, Swade. Suzuki VTwin engines... unstoppable?

    Damn fine work Wade. I'm glad that I had the pleasure of sharing of few of those miles with you.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.
