How in God's good name did a bunch of you read this and NOT catch the joke? Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing to learn. Google it.

Pounding a seat with your *** makes one nothing but an avid rider , most wouldn't know a real biker from Barney Fiff .

Not really that amazing. Oh, yeah, what color should I paint my bike?

You get a lot of HOG pins though and that has to count for something. I think its one for every 10k or maybe its 1k.

The only time I see total miles talked about other than this place is when I judge bike shows (The real ones not the convention center queens). It is part of the criteria for evaluation most of the time.

The thing is I like all the low mileage four year old bikes with all the extras out there. So pose away boys I will buy the first round of grog. Just leave me your contact information ...

So is this where we give the year and mileage of our rides?

Haven't been able to ride as much as I like, to much on my plate of late. A friend of mine I ran into at a local Dealer, (hadn't seen him in a couple of years), asked me how many miles on my clock. Told him I didn't know so he walked over to my bike and checked the read out. Guess he was expecting less than he saw 'cause he got real quiet when I asked him how mine compared to his. I think I'm tickling 45,000 on my '06 Deuce, 23,000 the first year I had it... then the GS came and things got busy around the homestead.
