Great ride for my last of the season, I logged 207 miles in the saddle.
It's gotta be about time for the local drive-in to close for the year. It's old and run down, but at least it's still open. The last 3 movies I saw there were Porky's in 1982, Porky's II in 1983, and Deathtrap with Michael Caine/Christopher Reeve/Dyan Cannon in 1983.

Congrats, you get the iron **** award! I don't ride, but that seems like a lot of miles for a season.
Yep, I'm up there with the best of them for miles ridden per season.
With my current bike I now have 6 full seasons of riding and have around 37,250 miles on the odometer, so I've averaged about 6,200 per year. My mileage for his year is the 2nd most in one year on this bike.
From 2012-15 on my last bike I averaged about 10k per season. Since my current bike is the first brand new one I ever bought I decided to cut back a bit.

Thanks! Well, some guys would say that's a lot of miles on the bike for the year of it. I suppose so but I buy my bikes to ride and enjoy, not to worry about mileage and/or resale value.

You hit 8k then come home after topping off the tank and you’re at 8,001. Hmmm
Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

Ever take it out to Banks Lake?
Last time we were there I jumped a appox 80ft cliff. It hurt. Split my eyebrow open. Ill see if I can find the video.
This would drive me crazy
You hit 8k then come home after topping off the tank and you’re at 8,001. Hmmm
Scha-weet.
Now you need one of these to go with it!
WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!
I don't recognize you with that avatar, what happened to your new one from a couple of days ago?
