Milestone on tonights ride
Was rolling along thinking about 2 threads on here this afternoon.

One about the CB 1100 not being" fast enough", and durn if every time I looked down at the speedo, if I wasn't speeding lol

2nd was the Michelin Pilot Road 3 thread and Papa Wheeley's question about how I was liking the Pilot road 3's (love em).

anyhow I look down just in time to catch this Banana

İmage



hint...look at the mileage. That's 16,093 kms for our Aussie and Canadian friends. Had the bike 1 year and 22 days. Oops guess that means I'm out of warranty now too. Sad

RE: Milestone on tonights ride
Not only did you notice it but you snapped a pic while still moving! i'll bet you hang a camera around your neck most every time you are out for a ride. I need to start doing that.

Yea redbird, I always have a camera with me. I can grab the camera, turn it on, and take a pic one handed in about 3 seconds lol. I take lots of photos lol.

I carry an inexpensive little Fuji Film Finepix point and shoot camera on a lanyard around my neck.



I have to add, every time I take this bike out for a ride, I fall in love all over again. GREAT MOTORCYCLE!

I hit 10,000 on my 2013 yesterday.

I'm still on the original tires, and will get new ones this Saturday.

I agree about this great motorcycle. I commuted to work on the DLX for the first time this year today. Brought a smile on both ends of the trip! I've got about half the mileage you do.

RE: Milestone on tonights ride
Congrats on the milestone! I'm glad you're enjoying the tires. I'm at just about 7,000 miles on mine and they're still doing great.

@johnboy...did you post a reply or just repost Ferret's original comments? Just curious because I'm only seeing Ferret's comment and this is the second or third time recently that I've seen what looks like a reply, but it's only the original post repeated and I'm wondering if it's some setting or another at my end.
