She is a beauty Hawkwind - looks better than new. Love the lines on her. Messy winter in Colorado and I am overworking. Mine is just sitting collecting dust :-(

In 27 miles time I will be seeing zeros on my clock.
I'm just about to jump on and ride her over the mark. A little celebratory something may be imbibed at that point. By the time I get home she'll have delivery mileage on her. He he....
Here we go then.....:icon_trophy :

Knock yourself out Henry, now you'll have the 'lowest mileage' bike on the forum

Mind you, after your winter engine rebuild the internals probably match the clocks

Yep, and here's the pudding.... I mean the proof.

The amazing thing is..... I'd kind of worked out where I'd be at the critical moment but I was gob smacked at how accurate my prediction was.
As I rode of the slip road from the motorway to the service station I had 99999.9 miles. I just managed to stop on a tiny lay by to take the roll over photo. 0.3 miles to the pumps and it was all history.

After refuelling she just plain showed off for the next 30 miles home. I had to draw the line at anything over 150. Ah Hurricanes, don't you just love 'em. The more you care, the more they give. That's my conclusion.
I have a video of the rest of my journey but I'll be ****ed if I'll ever post it up on any public forum.
He he....
Happy riding y'all!

Wow, that's impressive; I thought my old girl at 35k (21 000 miles) was pretty low mileage but ****, 0 miles makes my one look real used.
