    Long Distance Runaround

    Well, it finally happened. My bike hit 100,00 miles this afternoon. When I bought it in December of 91 it had 26k showing.
    I was doubtful about it happening after the accident, but we did it.
    Check it out:

      See what you get by taking the Long Way Home!

      Hey John,

      That's awesome. Looks like you have an Iron Butt to match your Iron Back!! I only hope to rack up miles on a bike like that after I'm retired! Keep rolling!

              John,

              Congrats!

              BTW, is that my label on your Pilot Box?

                Thanx Y'all

                Randy. Actually, that is the pilot box that you used as your sample. I haven't used the ones you sent me yet.
                Webbcraft, I actually went up to the security check points, and explained to the TSA agents that I had the fusion, and asked to go through the metal detector, and to be hand wanded. I didn't set of the metal detector, but I did light up the hand wand.

                  Should have one of those fancy little emblems like Rolls Royce use on there grill to mark the occasion.
