Another thread on here made me curious as to how many miles some of your rides have? Mine is an '01 and has 28,000 miles. She still have alot of life left? Got her right before winter here so I have only rode it a handful of small rides but still seems to run like a champ. Lets hear how many miles your bike has or other bikes you have had.
how many miles your shadow have? (or any other bike)

7,700 miles on my baby. Bought her new and she'd have more miles on her now, but I just got new tires for her and now I'm saving up to buy replacement tubes for the spoked rims. Then...I gotta save up and have them mounted and balanced.

I've rode every mile on the bike since I picked it up new March 06.vgreid said:Holy cow lonestarrider! I have the exact same year and model with 5400. But just got the bike, hope to change that as soon as the snow clears
Out of curiosity, any issues with the bike during the 81,900 miles?
I had the off-on switch go south about 30,000 miles.
Two headlight mounts, finally just repaired the second one with some square tube.
Of course the electrical connections from stator to the recitifer under the seat. Just cut that crappy connector out and tie them in solid.
Make sure the vent tube on the fuel pump is not kinked.
Replaced the fork seals and springs and the rear shocks. Seals went bad after a year and 18,000 miles.
Headlight lamp is just a automotive Phillips H4 from AutoZone still going strong after 2 years and 45,000 miles.
The fuel pump, clutch, water pump, rear brake shoes, stator and recitifer are still the ones that came with the bike.
I've ridden the bike in just about every weather extreme for long miles. So far the old Honda has put in over many 1000 mile days and one 1500 mile day with a 3 day trip around the entire state of Texas (3000 plus miles). Traveled over the high peaks of Colorado, the desert roads of Utah, the lonesome highways of west Texas and the desolate byways of New Mexico without worry. I think I'm getting my money's worth out of the bike.

Just got back from a quick 10 miler in 43F Cleveland weather! Was a little chilly, but not bad at all!
Add 10 miles to the "T" for me!
Unbelievable as it may sound, we have actually had three straight days of sunshine, which is pretty unheard of for us in February.
And no cute little bunnies were harmed! :wink:
