Calgary, AB, | Just EXCELLENT. Seems not that long ago you pass the 100K mark. I also have a Cherry '08, bought last year, but I just broke 20000, and that's KM so more like 12500 mi. I keep toying with buying a new VV, (in part to get ABS, in part to start new) but when I read about your success on the '08, I think why would I EVER change this original year bike.Congrats and many more and all safe miles. |

It's been a tad over 1 year I hit 100,000, Sept. 9 2011, I think. I'm slowing down some and I don't know why. I haven't visited the family that much this year, though I should have. I need to readjust my priorities. |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | CHRIS - I admire your 'seat time' - but I think I prefer my scenics, winding roads and co-pilot more! But I LOVE the fact that I might get the rest of my years riding on the BEST BIKE EVER - cuz I will be 90 before I get to your 200,000 kilometers.
On the plus side - Co-Pilot will turn 65 when I do 90 .... and her pensions will whoop mine! TRIKE VISION - Here I come !!!!

New Bohemia, VA | BING - 2012-09-24 9:38 AM Man thats awesome! Another reason to get a Vision, great to meet you at the Demo Ride Saturday. Yes, nothing beats a Vision...(except an Indian, but that's on another level, and a different story all together). It was good to meet you. I'm hoping a few of the Vicsters will get rides up and going, while I don't have much time due to volunteering, when I am able, I'd like to fall into a ride. Some talked about going somewhere this past Sunday, but I've not heard a report back yet. |

New Mexico | I think I remember you mentioning some time ago that you never worried about checking your oil between changes. Now that you are up in miles, are you using oil?
I know your rear shock is failing. And seat tore early on. Belt guard came off. Anything else not holding up so great after 100k we should keep an eye on?

New Bohemia, VA | Boots, no, oil continues to be fine between changes. There is some loss, but not a great loss, I don't need to add oil between changes. No smoke, just my oil pressure sensor that's been leaking from the beginning. I should have changed it under warranty but the dealer always seem to want to hold my bike hostage every time I would take it there.
I've had my rear header pipe split twice now. I had it welded last time, this time I'm going to try and wrap it to see if it will hold until I get it welded again. |
