    10K Miles whos got it already? Anybody Close?

    By 3 PM tomorrow, AZ time, I'll be turning 10K on my way home from work. I would have had it two weeks ago but I got a flat and the "work, and family things" got in the way. So far so good its, an awesome bike with only the paint issue is bringing me down.

    So whos close? I'm I the first 10K mile F6B?

    Well done! Waiting to hear from Miles on this question, he's probably out riding and unable to respond.

    Using Dragon Speech, as I ride ( ha ha ha ha ha), I am not quite at 10k yet. I will be by the last day of this month though. Bought the bike on April 6th.

    Then, after this month, I still have rides from Seattle to Galena, IL., and back, and then from Seattle to Deming, NM, then to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and back home. This year I should end the year with about 30k on the F6B. Good thing I have 11 other bikes, so I don't wear this bike out too fast.

    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.

    Beagle, Winnipeg is where the 38th annual Three Flags Classic rally ends this year. We are leving Deming, NM. on the morning of Friday, August 30th, and we will be arriving in Winnipeg on Sunday, September 1st. We will be there for a couple days, leaving on Wednesday morning, September 4th.

    No, I will not be visiting your kids while I am there. But you could come ride over and visit us. All 225 of us riders on this rally.

    I just finished a road trip to Wisconsin on 7-10. I'm right at 12K now. This trip alone was 2700+ miles.
