5400 miles in three years
Yes, the time has come for my bike to cross the 5400 mile mark today. Just a quick jaunt on the highway down to Lewiston and back to make it about 70 miles. Passed three cops all in the same spot. Hopefully they all gave me cold pity and didn't bother me because of that.
One day, my mileage will catch up to my post count. Hell, I've had this bike only a couple months longer than I've had an acct here. The poor thing.
The ticking went away that I heard yesterday after firing it up for the first time in probably six months. My first guess was just sticky valves or other things that hadn't moved in forever. A quick consult with a few friends and they figured the same.
Twas cold. That's all I have to say about that. Except my ankle is the size of a baseball and I'm not sure if it's related to the ride or not.

- The more you ride, the better you get. Nice to read about serious riders.
I have broken a few laws while commuting in miserable weather and seen cops give me a pass. That does not seem to happen in good weather, at least not to me.Posted 02-24-2008 at 07:11 PM by Eicas - hmmm...somewhere else I can communicato with the Plummo. Nice!Posted 04-01-2008 at 04:08 PM by zooki600
