An FJR odometer milestone..........

[SkooterG]

Today was one of those days I was in a funk. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, somebody pissed in my Wheaties, PMS..... I don't know - something! I was a moody ******* in a bad mood.

So, I decided to take a ride to one my favorite mexican restaurants in Gila Bend - Sofia's. A nice 80 mile ride to this establishment on a gorgeous, sunny day in the 70s. Between the ride and the fine grub it did the trick. There was a grin going inside the helmet on the return trip along Old US 80.

And on the return I hit an FJR odometer milestone. Had to pull off to the side of I-10 in heavy traffic to get the pic, but hey, anything for you dear reader.

So here it is...............

Waddaya think?

This is the first time in my life I have ever put anything near this kind of miles on any vehicle I have ever owned. The Dirty Ol Whore has been a hell of a bike. I've not been kind to her, but she's been great to me.

I guess you never really know about these things, can't anticipate them, but I am willing to wager that I will never see that odometer reading again on ANY vehicle I will ever own.

Life is good.

Hey great post Skooter! Good way to cheer up your mood.

PS you need gas soon.

Very cool Gregg. Time for the spining head to go and the 222222 pic should replace it.

In today's news here in Phoenix... SkooterG was hit by a truck on the side of the freeway while taking pictures of his odometer. When the squished skooter was asked why he was taking pix of his odo, he replied, "I had to show the guys"....

In other news, FJRForum members in Las Vegas are dressed to the nines in new Sport Touring apparel…..

Seriously, congrats Greg. Those are some miles. :yahoo:

Respectable mileage for a cage, outstanding for a bike ! How 'original' is the drivetrain SkooterG ?

 

[Beamer Reamer]

Nice. I have 200,000+ to go. Outstanding.

 

[dcarver]

Very cool, pissy-pants! Tx for taking the pix. Can you imagine how many times those pistons have gone up and done, each valve closed, number of bearing rotations? Truly amazing, especially given some of the long distance high rpm running you've been known to do...

 

[FJR-RemingtonRider]

Congrats on the milestone.

200k on any ride; promotes the owner/operator to status of "Wisdom Rider", now you have Trump Status on all questions concerning products and procedures.

The sextuplet deuces is icing on the cake.

And geez, 5 or 6 washings?

 

[TheAxeman]

Holy Mackeral! Congrats on having the stamina to rack up that kind of mileage. One question all of us enquiring minds want answered though.......How many of those miles were at legal speed?

 

[BanjoBoy]

Purdie cool dude, that's a hell of a lot of miles in six years. Hope to see that on mine someday. :dribble:

 

[mtnhigh]

Congrats! I hope to see that my self. ( in oh 8-10 years) 185,000 to go!

Nice to know we own a bike that is capable of reaching that kind of mileage.

 

[S76]

That's incredible mileage. Can you tell us if you have replaced any non routine maintenance items?

Stator, RR, Chain, Tensioner, Fuel Pump, Ujoints, wheel bearings, things like that.

Hey Scoot, impressive indeed, congrats and hope the old girl will keep you happy...... :yahoo:
