This is actually from back in Oct, but I forgot to post it up on here. Anyways, copy/paste from previous thread...

Bike is still running like a champ! Sitting right around 204,600 now... no problems and rolling right along :thumbup

============================================

Yup yup.... as the title states, she rolled over 200k earlier tonight without even so much as a hiccup, and still rolling right along and running like a dream!

I started looking through all my old pics and got all sappy, so I decided to do something a little different this time instead of the quick rollover video and a few pics. So I made a video, and started from the beginning and posted some pics from along the way of our travels, and then the video of it rolling over at the end. Music is a little cheesy, I know, but hey I had to add something in there, and plus it just seemed to kinda fit the theme pretty well, lol

And I'll put a few pics up anyways...

Being that it was getting dark, it made for getting pics 'at the scene' nearly impossible. This is about the only one that even somewhat turned out

Keeping with tradition, I had to get the shot at 19 miles, lol. First pics I took of the bike and odo were at 19, so I stopped and took one again at 19 after it turned 100k

Took a few more pics when I got home

As for the bike... it's still running like an absolute dream! Still ridden daily, never gives me a lick of trouble. As long as she keeps running good, I'll keep riding her.... still curious as to just how far she'll go!

Cool story bro!:thumbup I love to hear about bikes (and people) making it for so long.
 
I assume you've done a top end and cam chain? A couple times....

It's a honda...it's assembled perfectly from the factory.

I know this because working on them is like pulling teeth. :laughing

Congrats on the milestone :)
 
Amazing. :thumbup to you!
 
If you're heading to 300k, then you need to keep heading west and hang out along the west coast for a while...got some good roads here too!
 
:hail :hail :hail

Righteous Bro, that's some serious miles on a sporty bike. :thumbup
 
:thumbup

Enjoyed the vidio..........Thanks for the post.

And she still looks good after all those miles :ride
 
Good on you! Yes the video was well done. Any chick ever says anything about you being commitment-phobic just point to your two Honda's (car and bike). The most I've ever done on one bike is about 25k, but I've gone through about 75 bikes. And never been married.
 
:wow That's an achievement on several levels. I too am curious if and what maintenance you've had to do it keep it running like that.
 
Congrats Bro!! I'm on my way with 107,000 on the clock. It's good to see a bike get that far. Curious to know if anything major was done? I have had a main harness, starter, TPS sensor, and the periodic maintenance and valve adjustments. Ride safe bro!
 
I'd love to hear about the maintenance; how many wheel bearings, head bearings, top ends, clutches etc.
How many rear shocks, fork seals, fork oil etc
 
you know... if i were you i think i'd contact honda america and let them know your story. i think that they might be very interested and might even use you for some type of advertising. and the perks that could follow... man.

what percentage of people have accomplished what you have? and on a sportbike no less... pretty damn incredible. i, for one, am VERY impressed.

good on you,
david.
