Those of you on my FB have probably seen this already, but figured I'd post it up here too. It was actually about a month ago but just got around to finally updating the video, lol (lots going on lately)

Anyways..... the old girl is still going strong! She rolled right over 300k without a hiccup on the 17th of last month.... exactly one month to the day before her 11th b-day which was this past saturday

Sooo it was getting close..... decided to head up to the Blue Ridge Parkway

So this past weekend, I figured.... what better way to spend her b-day (Saturday 17th), than with some quality CRACK time!! LOL So we loaded up and headed out to NC BIKE for the weekend with my super awesome TPM family

It was a cold start, but warmed up pretty quick and ended up being about as perfect of weather as you could possibly ask for. I barely broke a sweat the entire day, with bright sunny blue skies. It was awesome.... paired with great friends, made for a killer weekend

Video....... it's a little cheezy, lol.... but you get the idea. The first part is the same as the 200k video from a few years ago, I just added onto it on the end



Anyways, she's still running like a champ, so I do suppose we'll just keep going and see what happens!

I had no idea you were still on the first clutch! Great job putting that many miles on it, and good video.

300k miles, that's nearing half a million km! Quite impressive I must say, from the bike and the owner, as what I can see from the pics not a speck or a blemish anywhere

Absolutely Awesome! What have you had to do over the years to keep her running?

this is simply mind boggling. not just the mileage, but the fact that you track the bike. Celebrating with a track day just topped the cake here. So time to make another cake i suppose?
