    My Venturer has ventured.. a lot!

    So, I was tearing into my carbs today.. When I pulled off the right side cover, I found something very interesting. Apparently, my bike has more miles on it than I originally thought. Mind you, the mill only has about 35K on it, but still... At one point, someone really cared about this bike.

    My side cover. There are many like it...


    The back of the side cover:


    Dat mileage!!



    150K? Plus whatever the PO put on it? sheesh, no wonder my U-joint was trashed.
    Anyway, I thought it was mildly interesting...


    peace,

    Vlad

        Those label makers were pretty old school. I like the idea though. I keep a logbook on my cars and trucks. I have a hard time remembering what was when on the bike. I might just use sharpie or better yet chalkboard paint inside and carry chalk

          Nice idea

          Remember using those label-makers? Yeah, they are definitely old school!
