Default 50,000 mile RK

On my way into work this morning my RK turned over 50,000 miles!! I was so proud I almost pulled over to thank her for all the great times we have had already and the many to come but instead I just twisted the grip and passed a truck. [&:] That seemed to be what she wanted to do anyway. I think I'll go buy her some new chrome!

Wow! I hope I get to ride as much on my 03 RKC. I am already scheduled to ride to the 4 corners of NC over memorial weekend. And planning an Iron Butt ride in the fall. Beautiful bike with 50,000 safe miles. Congrats.

I would have layed a big fat wet kiss on her at that very moment, then do a burnout for the next 50K

I have fun shooting for those numbers too. When I traded the 04 Roadking in January, I was just shy of 25,000 miles. I had the bike for 23 months. Talked to a friend this past weekend who has 160,000 + on a 1992 FXR shovel head.
Happy trails and safe riding!

Currantly @ 2300 miles on the Ultra.
