Odometer Occasions
« on: June 12, 2012, 08:41:16 PM »
Caught this today:



OK not really that special, but I like to catch the 10k changes - it's sort of like a little birthday for the bike  ::)

I always forget to get pictures of these sort of thing.  Comes from being ol with a film mentality I suppose ..

Gee, I forget where I was when mine clicked over to 60,000 but probably somewhere between Port Hedland and Adelaide in January 2008. I remember the 100,000  as I was in Perth in April 2009 visiting my sister. 150,000 will come up before the year is done.

Cute.  Alright, I'll be the one to ask.  What is it?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

OK- I had a 2004 ST1300 and it had the horrid digital display.  Hence my question.

I will confess it's not on a bike.

It's my Volvo truck, a FM12. 340HP.

Lots of laughs. Got you there.

The fuel usage for 125,000 kms interesting.

No kms/Litre.........another form of motive power perhaps.
