of the 00000.0 Club!! I know many of you have been there done that --- but this is my 1st! Which makes it all that much more special!! I can't describe the feeling as I watched the last few miles roll by --- ultimately reaching 99999.0  Pulled over snapped my shot --- and rode my last mile!!   I remember many conversations here on the board about this monumental event --- and I can attest to the fact that the feeling was awesome!! I took my picture --- through down the kick stand jumped off and did my Happy Dance Jig!! of course --- followed by a very loud WOOOHOOO!!!  Now --- to plan how I'll add the next 99999 miles! Woohoo!! |

You should've reset the trip meter... then you could pass it off as a brand new bike!!
Congrats!

Congrats. Des I wish i could make that claim, but I have never kept a certain bike that long. I'm looking to keep "old yeller" for the remainder of my days, so who knows BTW- is that a water bottle carrier off a bicycle, if so how is it attached? |

That it is T-Bird --- I'll give credit where credit is due ---- Warlock (David) told me what to buy and how to mount it when I met him in Texas 4 years ago. It was the best $5 investment I made for my girl. Living in the desert I drink tons of water and having a bottle on the bike at all times is a must! It's just a basic bicycle water holder (schwinn I believe) and it's attached to the center bolt of my windshield. It fit perfect right between the gauges. http://www.sportsmith.net/ItemForm.aspx?Item=P1447514bought it at Wal-mart --- even came with a bottle! I have since replaced it with a Eco-Stainless Steel bottle --- but it's one of my prized accessories |

Great feeling aint it?!! I think we should have a special designation called "Flipsiders". If you flip it twice then you become a "Second Degree" Flipsider. We are going to need our own sticker to place on our bikes like the "Darksiders" have and all.  I'll check into gettin something made up.  |

about 42,000 Joe Great feeling aint it?!! I think we should have a special designation called "Flipsiders". If you flip it twice then you become a "Second Degree" Flipsider. We are going to need our own sticker to place on our bikes like the "Darksiders" have and all. I'll check into gettin something made up. Flipsiders!! I love it!! you come up with one --- I'd definately buy one!!! |

I can't wait till the first time a HARDLEY rider asks how many miles I have on her --- I'll say ah not many -- don't ride as much as I'd like  she is certainly better looking in her old age then I am! |
