All week I have been waiting for it ..... the "new" bike status.

This morning on the way to work 999,920   ..... distance to work & home -- 82 miles ...

Getting all excited on the way home - even made the trip from I-75/285 in NW Atlanta to Hwy 20/I 85 in NE Georgia pleasant to consider.

On teh way hom e---- getting closer ... 99,970 ..... 99.980 ..... 99,995 (stop for gas) ... 99,996 ...99,997 ... 99,998 .... 99,999 --- oh boy ---- next corner!!!!! ----- 100,000 ....

Wait!!!!! Undecided     What the heck!!!!  When did they put a 6 digit odometer in the I/S???????????!!!!!!!!!

 tickedoff  tickedoff  tickedoff

D*mn!!! I gotta start riding more!!!! (Hmmmmm maybe a daily commute from Dacula, Ga to somewhere in Texas???????

Yeah, I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago on a ride down to Brownsville, Texas.  Then when it rolls over, we don't have a new bike at all, but one that has OVER 100,000 miles on it.

Oh, well, at least it is broken in now.

Did Honda think only the I/S would make it to 100K, 200K, 300K?   Roll Eyes  laugh They were so wrong!

No, just easier to put a digital 6th digit than a mechanical one.  You know size and space.  I had an old 1967 Volvo that had a million mile odometer on it.  Talk about dependability that many years ago.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess - but ummmm I have been a programmer since 1975 ..... guess you can't teach an old dog even older tricks!
