Mileage Milestones Part 2

[rdprdp01]

Although my Forum heroes like the Ferret and Cormanus will clock 10,000+ miles per year on their motorcycles, I did manage to reach that milestone on mine, though it took me a decade. 



What is truly more impressive than the 1,800 miles or so I ride each year is just how well my CB1100EX has held up. I ride in fine weather, rain, high winds, hell-hot heat, and bone-chilling cold (or at least the California version of it). I ride when I can regardless of the conditions. Bugs, rocks, dust, rain, tar, gravel, oil, and everything else on a city street, highway, or country road comes into contact with my motorcycle at speeds ranging from 2-80 miles per hour. Mitsuyoshi Kohama did indeed build a world-class motorcycle that just "demands to be ridden." He also used materials, craftsmanship, and engineering to make it possible to weather the ride well and be ready for the next one. See my motorcycle with 9,990 miles on the clock:



That's all Honda, my friends. We own great motorcycles which are made to last.

I hesitate to put my name on the mileage-tracking report because it will draw attention to how I continue to struggle to find time for the things I love. But on this day, I felt like I could hang out with the cool dudes on the Forum. Now, I must return to the land of the nerds to earn a living. Have a great week. David
