| Congrats on the milestone VA, that's pretty cool if its the first time hitting that mileage on a bike, particularly in just under 2 years, congrats. Mine unfortunately gets parked for 5 months each year due to the snowfall, but I've managed to plug off a measly 21k in the 15 months I've owned her. Ride safe and I look forward to seeing the 100k post |

guelph ontario | You probably have the highest milage vision out there. How come you dont measure in miles. Up here we travel in kilometers but south of the border you-all use miles-no? |

San Antonio, TX | I am still below 12,000. My 15 mile commute and constant working is killing my mileage gathering.
13 1/2 months and 11,700 Miles.

Carrollton, TX | Way to go Chris!! I am trying to catch you but I have to work way to many hours but I still have 36,800 miles in 17 months and I will be doing a 5,000 mile trip in just over 2 weeks. I can't wait. I should hit at least 50,000 miles within 24 months but I thought I would be at 60,000 miles by then. Every mile just gets better on a Vision! The time I have spent in the Vision saddle are about the best hours I have spent on earth. I am sooooo thankful and blessed. |

We do measure in miles, In this case the "k" in 50k does not mean kilometers, it means "thousand" as in 50 thousand miles. |

LaPorte,Tx. | Hey Chris way to go, 50K and everything that went with it, from talking to us about your bike to working on the bike in that little building doing your own maintenance. I think I remember you even had a little fender bender, all a memory for you. With all that said, I'm sure your throwing your leg over that seat tomorrow for a few more miles...and then smile and feel content there will be no problem to do another 50k. Take care.
Hey, next Texas ride, spent a little more time...  |

I've heard there are higher in less time, so it is no record by any means, I've not met these people either, just heard about them. I think the bums on bikes hold the mileage record so far in the shortest period of time.
50K = 50,000 miles, I have a habit of using the k to sig 1,000 (miles, not kilometers) when it comes using it for miles it is confusing to those above and below the border and across the pond from Va. so for the record, it is 50,000 miles. if it was 50,000 kilometers it would only be about 31,000 miles.
enough of the math lesson, time for recess. GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE! |
