CB Eleven-Hundred Thousand Mile Club

That it so incredible! You must ride the vast majority of your miles on the freeway, correct?

Very impressive seat time, man. What a durable machine!

ok Sanoke reported having turned 100,000 kms, not miles, but he was at 62,500 miles in 2016 shortly before he stopped coming to the forum, so who knows how many miles he would have by now if he still has his CB. Sure would be interesting to know..

So.... officially that moves Haystack up to #3 in the 100,000 mile club

and something he forgot.... Haystack replaced his fork seals at his 75,000 mile service

Great extended ride and maintenance report! Thanks!

Our closest freeways are 110 mi. away to the north, 150 mi. to the south, over 100 mi. to the west and 400 mi. to the east. Most of my riding is on two-lane roads and highways. I've also done some short jaunts over gravel and dirt roads to explore but only during dry conditions. Last year we (the CB and I) went coast to coast and that was mostly on Interstate.

Thanks!

Heystack, interesting and worthy report...
As to: "tires replaced and installed, 7 front and 14 rear"... how come 14 rear and 7 front...based on my mileage, my rears last 2-3 longer than fronts, totally opposite..

I rarely replace a tire that is completely worn. My rears usually have 30% remaining and the fronts a little more than that. If you can keep a secret between you and me, I've also extended front tire life at times by simply flipping the wheel around (but not the spacers!). Don't laugh...I've experienced no adverse affects by doing this although it is not recommended and experts will claim that it is dangerous for a multitude of reasons. I am not a performance rider.

On more than one occasion I've overestimated remaining tire life prior to departing on an extended trip and halfway though discover that the tire has worn completely out. I've discovered that very few shops carry these tires in stock and need to ordered.

Thanks,

A pleasure to have shared some of those miles through Oregon and Colorado, Joel. Joe

The pleasure and honor was mine as well!

I've seldom ridden with someone as experienced and talented as you!
