I'm at 4K but my bike is just a toy.....

Only 2500 for me, but with working 60 hr/wk and living in CT, that's not too bad.

I envy Miles. I must say I'm a little imtimidated with the thought of very long trips.
I'm just a "Touring Rookie". My Idea long ride will be about 8hrs and 400 miles to Bar Harbor Maine this summer. I saw the thread about the Smokey Mountains and the beautiful riding in NC. Possibly this fall or next year I'd like to try that.

We'll see how things turn out. I had a bike with tons of chrome that would require hours of polishing after running through a single puddle so weather and multiple day rides were a pain in the butt. With this bike, I think if I dress correctly, the weather wont' deter me from enjoying the adventure. I'm also ant-chrome now. All Black No Chrome is the goal for me.

I picked up my bike 1st of May and only have a little over 2100 miles so far. It is the best bike I've ever owned. I've had 1500 Wings and before the F6B I rode Valkyries. I was waiting for a 1800 Valkyrie, but when I saw the F6B I had to have one. This site is a great tool for ideas and sharing information. I have made keys for the bags and glove box with tips from here. Also modified the passenger backrest (taller and better angle), and learned how to change the windshield. The Valkyriders.com site is the greatest site for info on Valkyries and I am hoping this site will continue to grow and contain as much info about the F6B.
