The only Southern belle accessory I'm carrying is a Ruger LC 9. You've seen it. I thought I was going to have to use it that day in the Delaware Water Gap when you and that Yankee in the minivan were having a "discussion" about right-of-way.
Then I found out that yelling at each other in the middle of the road is just what Yankees do. Who knew???
Now your a riding, talking, and a eaten!
It was interesting about what you fed your bike over the years but could you give me more details on what and where you ate in Key West? Is the Turtle Kurrels still there. Did Jimmy buy the whole place? Is the Live Bar still sharing the parking lot. Are they still offering a Key West dozen oysters (16) for $1.50?
Now that brought back some happy memories!
Damn, I had some low ODO readings back then.
Just 4100KM on my 2016.
Oh you were miss led my child! That was no Yankee that was an out of state New Yorker!
I just can't stand people telling me what to do or forcing me to ride at 10 miles an hour down a winding road that begs to be ridden at 60!
Do you remember that road? They just repaved it. Now, just last week in fact, on my way to the bakery I proved 70 is possible. You know at my age I have to travel at that speed to get my ODO up so I can brag and still have time to eat.
I met a young lady (25) yesterday riding a SFV-650 with 70K at 18 months! The lady works about three jobs and does her own oil changes!!! I did turn her on to Rotella as she was paying $60 for a gallon on oil?

I have a friend that has put ALOT of miles on bikes over the years. He is always quick with a joke or words of wisdom. I guess he's had a lot of time to think while riding so much. A few of us were sitting around one day talking about how many miles he and others have ridden and he had some "wisdom" that I thing may apply well to this thread. He said some people ride 5k a year and some ride 50k a year. All that matters is that they both enjoyed those miles the same.
