Badass! People are amazed that my bike has roughly 50k on it and that it is still going strong.

Get your ass in a commercial. Though didn't Toyota or Honda do a commercial with people having their car go over 1million miles?

How many bikes ever even get a chance to hit 200k? 100k? 99% of the bikes out there either dont hardly get ridden, just sit, get wrecked, or just replaced with something new.

Also, jared, pretty damn bad ass

I know several folks with old 'Wings at the half-million mile mark. Does that count?

Yeh I know a few that go that far too, but really for every new bike sold how many get wrecked and how many jsut sit? What does 1 out of every 200,000 bikes made make this kind of mileage.

And there is a huge difference between a goldwing and an f41

Huge difference is an understatement. Sad fact is that you're probably right: most either sit or get wrecked. That's too bad because I'll bet any number of Japanese sportbikes can rack up the miles.

Super cool!

Can't wait til' my Busa gets that far! She's knockin' on 70k now! Still a few days to go!
