congrats!!!!!
keep that engine purring because there's still many miles/klicks (this proper slang for kilometers?) left in her!

Koapono -- is that the odometer reading miles on the K100 in your signature line? If so -- that's an inspiration to brickers everywhere good man.

Mongrel -- Is that reading km? If so -- I think kaopono's got you beat by a smidge. In fact...so does most everyone here...that's only 67k miles! I crossed that milestone back in 2008  :bmwsmile

Y'all have easy entry into that club over your end of the pond. :2thumbup:

Looks like you went for a nice ride in the countryside to roll it over.

Mine hasn't crossed 66,000 km (41,000 miles) yet.  :dunno

The little scoot is at 11,335 miles, and the 'twingle' has 9540 miles on the clock.

yes, that is my 85K odometer, turned 200K this May, now showing approx 202K! this scoot has been an incredible example of Teutonic engineering, normal wear/tear items: brakes, clutch, cables, etc but engine internals and other components still original. Hope the LT has half the reliability!
cheers

Yep, I went up and over to Hockley Road then down to Cedar Springs Road. With some detours here and there.

Good job. Mine passed 100,000 miles on 9th July and has just short if 103,000 on it now!

I bought it new with about 2 miles on it.  Odo was broke for a couple years so it's probably closer to 190-195k.  Ural is my daily driver now but still get the K out every week or so. Amazing bike!

Yeah, both both are low mileage.

Living virtually downtown, about 6 miles from Toronto's CN Tower, and commuting .6 miles to my shop, it's hard to pile on the miles. I get to fill up the scoot with a gallon a month.  :yes

If my plans come to fruition, I hope to be in the GTA towards the end of next summer - if so I'll gladly help you out a few more miles on your bikes!
I've family in Aurora, Ajax and Lindsay and I hope to visit next year!

My sister lives just east of the next major town north of Aurora, Newmarket.

Are you going to have something to ride?

All being well I'll get an opportunity on one of my cousin's bikes. He has a couple of HDs apparently (there's no accounting for taste)! He lived on the edges of Holland Marsh before he divorced so he's been around that area for a while.

Probably the most interesting thing that's happened in Hartley, DE is decades, but still, no parade -- as if anyone here had anything better to do on such an occasion.

Bought this in 2000 with 6k miles, it tugged my best bud Bo in his sidecar for 40k miles till he passed on then sat in Zombieland for three years -- but fired right up in 2013 as soon as I hit the button and has done another 17k miles since, and I still get compliments on what a great lookin' bike it is despite the beat-up side cases and rusty bolt heads. 200k, here we come...
