Milestone on tonights ride

[the Ferret]

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:





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.

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.

 

[the Ferret]

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.

 

[Powerdogg55]

That's a fun-o-meter just a reminder of the good times had. :excited: 8000 more and I will be right there with ya!

 

[Chapomis_imp]

Thanks for the hint, I was looking at your speed. What did you use to take the picture ?

 

[the Ferret]

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.

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.

 

[the Ferret]

Sea his comment is in their right under the pic. He is just not dropping below the last quote mark before replying (if that makes sense)

It says "love that 14 dash"

took me awhile to find it too lol

Got this one on the ST last fall, but pulled over to take it so it was clear

Well...I made 1000 today...a long way from yours; but that's six weeks of playing with my new toy.

Weather out here in this part of Montana is phenomenal. It's like inland California - we have winter, sort of; and the mountain peaks all around are covered with white; but in town, in our valley? We had about six weeks of real cold. I've had the (now sold) BMW out since mid-February.

Is it normal? Dunno. This is my first winter here. But judging by all the high-end bikes and bikers here, I'd say it sort of is.

 

[the Ferret]

One of my best friends lives in Bozeman. Winters can be brutal there.

 

[JustPassinThru_imp]

Oh...yeah. A lot of towns...the distance VERTICAL are as much as the HORIZONTAL distance between them.

We're at 3000 feet. But my job is on the railroad here; and I have to run trains through Mullan Pass. It's 5800 feet at the tracks' highest point - and this morning it was snowing lightly.

Get back into town and it's 62 and sunny.

I'm new here...don't know much about Bozeman, other than it was the Emerald City of Robert Pirsig's epic journey...

I had 10,000 on the clock last Friday, but that's km.

This morning in the garage I had 11,177, also a nice number.

However, I missed to see the 11,111 Sunday evening on the way home.

I started at 0 end of October last year (2014).

Good going, Ferret. My bike had its 36,000 km service today. I'll have to start moving a gain to keep up with you.

 

[the Ferret]

is 36,000km service a valve inspection for you guys?

 

[Cormanus]

Yes, and no problems reported. All in spec. I meant to add that, because my bike didn't leave the showroom until May 2013 it's still in warranty. Just.

 

[the Ferret]

That's amazing. I wish we got 2 year warranties and I don't understand why you get 2 and we only get 1?
