FJR Mileage Milestones

[FJReady]

Thanks for the assist, blu. Got it.

With any luck at all, my big girl hits 50K this weekend.

Hitting the mileage milestones on the FJR feels like a rite of passage. It reinforces what I think a motorcycle is for. We don't ride to the bar. We ride to the bar that's 4 States away.... just because that local IPA there is just not available at home and somehow it just taste so much better when your butt has that "500 mile tingle".

I enjoy keeping up with this thread.

"[C]ustomers appreciated the beautifully shaped machine that showed them the way to other states and it did it in complete comfort with power one twist of the throttle away." From the TopSpeed review Rambler recently posted.

Couldn't agree more.

Congrats Pete welcome to the 200,000 mile !!!! club on your FJR, keep riding and smiling

Just 185K today. Will hit 200K by the end of the year. Have to divide time between the Wing and KLR.

OH, forgot, all stock '03. Non ticker. One valve adjustment at 145K. (4 ex. and 1 In.) One FD seal. On the 3rd Electrosport.

Stator. Darkside.

Should only take Skooter about 6 months to see this.

Seems like this is the place to post this from SEO Ramble: That old gray 2003 has seen a lot of miles, but not a lot of states...Do you know the rider?

 

[RadioHowie]

Tom, that's not the number of miles on the bike....it's the number of critters in his beard.

Actually Howie, you are correct...that's not the number of miles on the bike. At the time the picture was taken the actual miles were 357,000 and by now it's probably 358,000. The rider is our own Gray Ghost, and almost all the miles have been put on within the state of Ohio.

Well, I just thought I'd add another mileage landmark:

So, what's so special about 28660 miles?

Well, nothing really, but it's an excuse to show up my post count

A slightly different milestone!

Well I've got a Loooooooooong way to go before I'm worthy of a seat at the Gray Ghost table. I can continue to dream.... one day.

However - Scooter, as of yesterday, you can add me to the entry level group!

I bought the FJR while I lived in the US, so she's been to many many parts of the US too in the 3 years I was State side

Old Yellar turned 150K on the ride home from work this past Friday. Funny how when it turned, I began thinking back to a lot of great trips I've had so far with her.

Good Times

Went on a nice ride around the block yesterday and today. Central NC to Beckley, WV and back. Rolled 75,000 odometer miles on highway 3 somewhere between Hinton and Nimitz, WV.

I wish SkooterG or another Admin would update this thread

, seems like a few folks have hit important milestones since the last update.

.... or maybe the ability to update this thread can be passed off to someone else.

I might consider it.

24000 on my '09 since I bought it in May 2010. All enjoyable and trouble free.
