I think that we all should have a survival plaque and picture for every 100,000 miles safely traveled.  |

50,000 rolled right by without getting a picture.
I have a hard time getting the speedo anyway. I get glare. I need to figure that out before I join the club. Another 25,000 and I'll be there.

 Of course, THAT pic is cheating, since that was the day I bought the Valkyrie...  I've got about 7,000 to go and I'll be able to take another version of that picture... |

You guys with the baby Valks have fun. Interstates don't roll over they just keep on getting bigger and better.

You guys with the baby Valks have fun. Interstates don't roll over they just keep on getting bigger and better. Truthfully, Mondo, it seems that most of those who ride enough or keep the Valkyrie long enough to roll over 100K are on Standards or Tourers. Besides yours and one other, I'm not sure most Interstate riders even realize that the leftmost zero will change to a one. I dearly loved my Interstate and in the short year that I rode with her we put on a little over twenty thousand miles. I don't know of many Istate riders (other than the Captain of the Black Pearl) that even do that small amount. I think maybe that even though the Interstate is a wonderful motorcycle, it seems to be more suited to those who wish to listen to the radio or carry an extra six pack than to those who really enjoy the feel of the wind in their faces. How about it Interstate riders? Are there any more of you out there that have seen five nines on the odometer? |

now..........TRUTH BE KNOWN...........if i RODE to all the events i have gone to over the years....INSTEAD of being THE TRAILER QUEEN I proudly admit i am.....oh man, i'd have at least 200,000.....maybe even 300,000 on by now! OR....if i only had ONE bike to ride...instead of four (YES...i ride Sherry's bikes....frequently. Most work weeks, i ride my Valk at least two days...her Valk one or two days...my Rune one day)....i'd probably be over 200,000 easily! But i have to share time with four bikes...though i RARELY ride Sherry's Rune........... i'll bet my trailer easily has well over 100k on it....easily  |

I have had my Interstate less than 25 months and have put 45,000 miles on it. I have over 70,000 on it now and plan to ride. Inzane should be another 2,500+ for me, so I could be pushing 80,000 by the end of the year. Gotta ride before I am too old.

My travel '99 i/s just turned 67,000 a few days ago. Give me a couple more years, she'll see 100,000. Since this one gets most of her exercise in just two or three months of the year, it takes a little time.....

I'm sure there are many many Interstates with over 100,000 miles. The original Black Pearl had 136,500 miles when I wrecked it. I still enjoy putting many many miles on an Interstate and hope to continue that joy for some time more. Raymond  |

I would have made it easy, but I quit riding the Q-1 for three years while I put about 50 K on Q-2. I just don't care as long as it is Valkyrie milage. Maybe I will put up the number 1 on Q-1 on the way to the CBR. "The Quickening", Q-1 has killed two deer and stayed upright, hit a truck while I was unconcious, and just keeps on tickin'. Heck, she even took to haanin' a back seat rider and a back rest. Just wish I would have kept the tan seats when I sold the Q-2. Cheryl would have loved them.

I knew Tracy had the miles on TheBeast, but wasn't sure about you, cause I knew you rode several of them. Figured all of them together would have well over the 100,000 mark however... Sure glad ya straightened me out on that boo boo......... |

This is a shot of 'Binder's Dragon cave when we visited a couple of years back. If you look closely you'll see mine and mama's, but I believe Tracy and Don have added a couple to bring their count up more since that day.

Got 106K on my I/S now. Wish I had put all of them on there but it had 59K on it when I got it. I put 31K on my tourer before buying the I/S. Plan on seeing that 1 on the far left turn to a 2 in a couple of years.  |
