Something you don't see every day
Out for a spin this afternoon with SWMBO, and had to pull over for a picture:

Feels like a brand new bike!

Gee, and I just turned 50,000 last week and thought I was special. Nice job! (and can still read the lettering on the pilot box, too!)"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)Comment

I just turned 78,000 km, then changed the speedo for another one with 77.300 km.

77777,7 km today. Just went for a morning cup of coffee. Damn nice weather and curves and twisties and 2 motorcycle cops left in dust. Fun.

Now i never knew that . Canadian bikes kilos are the big numbers? Here mph is the big numbers and kilos are in the small inside. Mine turned 52,000 miles before i had to change the speedo (kept breakin speed cables)1982 XJ 1100

That's right, Chevy45412001, all Canadian vehicles are done this way. It takes SWMBO and I a while to readjust every time we visit the states. We'll be cruising down some nice road, then go into panic mode when we see a sign cautioning to 30 for a corner. Once or twice, I've felt pretty silly going through a 30mph curve at 30kmh

Ho did you keep the gages looking so good all these years?

The gauges have always lived behind a Vetter fairing and windshield, and also under a visor as below:

Hey Ken, are you and your lovely bride attending the Reno event? My wife was asking, as she/we enjoyed meeting you two in Bozeman."Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

Bozeman sure was a lot of fun, and we'd love to see both of you again, but we've both had our month off for the summer and are now 'back to the salt mines'.
We actually started out heading down that way, but the heat was just no fun. Instead, after about a day and a half, we 'turned right' and went out to the coast where the riding temperature was much more enjoyable. Another right turn pointed us up towards the Olympic peninsula, then another took us across the north Cascades. We had some really great riding, but we missed out on the opportunity to meet new friends or renew acquaintances.
