Default 100,000 miles

Some time this month I should hit it. I have 100 miles to go. Then I am going to do chain tensioners & service. Do you think people would believe it's a new bike with zero miles?

Just curious...what kind of mods has it had and have you had any issues in the first 100K? I plan to run mine at least to there before I buy another new one. By then I should be able to get one of the new liquid cooled models!

Too cool. Do your own maintenance? Tell us what you do and any problems. If it were me I would have at least dropped it once in that gravel drive way you have. Best friend has dropped his twice in the grass in his yard coming out of his shead. HA
