Default Ten Thousand Miles!

Today my Nightster turned over the 10,000 mile mark. I rode from Ft. Worth to the Hot Springs Rally and back this weekend. I got home with 9985 on it. While riding out to my parents house in Azle today, it turned over. I got the bike in March of this year and cannot stay off it.

Wow! I am impressed - 30 miles on my Nightster is pretty tough going. When I bought this 'bike I thought it had suspension. But I can run over a dime and tell you what year it was from. The seat is made for better men than me... But I love this bike - it's fast, handles well and looks a million dollars.
