I just got my first XS11 last week.
I picked it up with just under 15,000.
I know I've got a loto of riding to do.
But, Wes, make no mistake about it, I'm gonna be catchin' up to you sooner than you think.

Keep ridin' buddy.

Take a look at the Iron Butt mileage awards site...some of these guys put on serious mileage, like 100K per year, 30K in 30 days, 20K in 20 days.

I was getting 10K -12K per year when I lived in AZ, but these Colorado winters are a bit more harsh and my mileage will go down.

Face it, most XS/XJs don't wear out; they die from lack of use!

G'Day excessives. I buy 3 tires a year now. Really couldnt afford to qualify for the Iron Butt. I simply live to ride. Fortunatly I live in Texas so the riding season is mostly year 'round. Danny Meyer rids way more than I do. Ane he writes better. I love this bike. It's old and sometimes cranky, but it's a blast to ride. Being dressed the police dont mess with the old geezer either. And thats a bonus. Specially since I cruise at 85 or so. Have a GREAT day and thanks for the comments.
Keep on riding!
