400,000 miles

Big distance bikes are not all that remarkable, but what stands out for me is no clutches installed yet ... engine internals are all untouched, other than the thermostat and alternator which aren't really internal ... original water pump, clutch, starter...

My two STs have a total of 135,000km, I have a long way to go.

Motorcycling, the best time you can have with your pants on.
eBiking, the second best time you can have with your pants on
Afterlife, up there for the climate, down there for the company.
If I'd known I was gunna live this long, I woulda looked after myself better

I ticked over 170,000 kms the other day. I too, have a while before I need to worry (touch wood).
