Was riding in extreme heat in Hell's Canyon (eastern Oregon). The heat and hard riding in canyon just ate it up. Won't be pushing my current Stones past 19,000 km/12,000 miles on a road trip again.
    Pretty much same story. I got 20,300 kilometers on it and at 19300 it looked smooth but I thought I was good for a bit but wrong..it went quick after 19300

    If my math is on 20300kilometers is just over 12 maybe 12thousand 500 miles give or take....About the same right ?

    My father in law would ride em till they looked like that and worse. His motto was "use em till you see air". Gotta love Dutch guys who grew up during WW2.
