GrahamT and I went for a ride yesterday — around 500 kms for me. I didn't take any photos of the bikes, but I did grab this.
I can see I need to fix the clock.

Another milestone with my R18: 57,771 km
My R18 gets absolutely filthy in the rain because the splash protection isn’t great.
Nice pattern on my tank drawn by the wind though.

Ugly dirt.. but nice mileage!
Django, to acheive this result, are you raunning your R18 on all four cylinders ... or just two..?

Peter, the R18 does not have cylinders, it has got a shorted 1 liter (only 0.9l) beer mug on either side.

Well done, Cormanus and Django!!! When the Ferret & Peter Baron comment on your post, you know you have done something right!!! David
Hey, Django, what does "Rock" mean on the gauge?
Django

That means: let's rock!
It's the riding mode. Other bikes have something like: rain - road - dynamic (or sport), the R18 has: rain - roll - rock.
It controls the power delivery of the motor.
Rain mode is super soft. Switched to it by accident once and thought I was running on onecylinder beer mug. 
Roll mode is nice and smooth.
Rock mode is full power.
I always ride rock mode. I can ease off the throttle by myself, when it's getting diffficult.

Reminds me of demo-riding the Verge electric motorcycle. If I recall correctly its modes were “chill” and “beast”. I could be wrong.

Been there
The first thing I think of when I think of something fast is a rock.
Django

Well, think more of a rockslide.

@PB, I'll be checking that in person soon.

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. :hilarious:
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

Not having to work is a key success factor in clocking up miles!
I went on a ride today with GrahamT. Somewhere along the way (hereabouts) I clocked a milestone. I apologise for the quality of the photo. It was cold and I was wearing thick gloves which makes operating lanyard cam a pain.
