Title: What's the true mileage of a K bike

(http://)Here's a peek under the FPR where the non-collapse spring thing has been rubbing the block for, oh, about forever.  Wonder how many miles?  Good place to look for how long it's been on the road.

someone over on BMW owners forum posted a pretty good brake pedal wear/mileage comparison. Further back the little pyramids are worn down the higher the mileage.

Count the rings.

True enough, deeper the rub the more rings will show.  Wonder if this is common to all bricks.  Look under FPR, count the rings.  Zero rings equals zero miles.  I know that most speedometers/odometers on early bricks worked some of the time.
