Now we're getting close... 499, 869.9. I plan to make Crazyhorse's Veterans Day Ride this weekend... and it's about 350 miles, give or take a few, away. If all goes according to plan, I'll have something to celebrate when we arrive! Our bike is such a wonderful partner, life would certainly have been different without her.

Hang in there Bruce, even if you have to circle the block about a dozen time to roll it over.

Take a picture as it rolls over Buddy.

[Joe Hummer]

I rolled 155k on my bike last week and she is still going strong.  I took a picture of the odometer when it had 55k on it...it took me 6 yrs and 4 months to put 100k on it...that averages out to 15,790 a year.    Only 345k to catch up with Bruce!!

Wish all of them were mine!

[HayHauler]

Rolled 132,000 on the 99 IS this week.  All but 22k are mine and the rest from Gene Brady (Pasadena Honda owner) and my youngest brother.  Still going strong and ride most every day.  Not as many miles this year, as there is a BMW in the garage sharing the riding time.

OK, it's now official... 501,695 miles and counting. Our bike is the most amazing machine this old gypsy has ever been fortunate enough to be associated with! We rolled 500K on the way to Crazyhorse's Veterans Day Ride... and in keeping with our long-standing practice, we took a long-cut home... It was raining south and east of Cookeville, and it was pretty cool north of there, so we did the only sensible thing we could... we went west... Got home Friday, so now it's time for an oil 'n filter change, then fork replacement next week down in Lake Charles, LA. I just love our girl and this life!!!

The king of high miles has been crowned!
What tips do you have to offer to us peons?

[Tailgate Tommy]

Awesome Bruce! 

[RDAbull]

In the words of the young groupies:

We're not worthy!!

Congrats and I raise my (coffee) cup to another 500,000.

[old2soon]

Damn Bruce-you and Ali just keep goin and goin-kinda like a Duracell battery.  I really dasn't believe a Duracell could have kept up!  I'm guessin here but with that 1/2 mil milestone probably time fer a long ride?  RIDE SAFE.

1999 Interstate 101,000 and third ct bought in April of 09 with 30,000 on her

Nice fall ride on the north side of the Delaware River today. My phat girl  clocked 150,000 getting back into my town.

Depending on what that number is supposed to be, we could put that on the list but we'd need to know the model and year also.

Willow it's a 1999 Red and  Black Carbon Fiber Interstate..

150,003 happy miles. Thank you Willow.

[Hook#3287]

DDT!  How bout a picture of Ali?

Love to frame it and put it on my shop wall.

[Hoser]

I took this pic somewhere in South Dakota about 5 years ago, ended up with 130K when I killed it on the interstate when I got clobbered in Joplin, Mo. more than a year ago.  I got the bike new in 2001.  Hoser.  (buy the way, I expect a clean bill of health after the final exam resulting from that crash, scheduled tomorrow.  Wish me well.)    Hoser

[3W-lonerider]

time to update my mileage. 188,501 miles..

[The emperor has no clothes]

150,003 happy miles. Thank you Willow.

Thats a lot of HAPPY miles  I'm going to to steal that. 

[saddlesore]

My 1999 standard now has 145,000 +or-
Was down waiting for a pinion cup and my body is preventing me from getting more miles.

[oldslacker]

As of now the old girl  (97tourer) is up to 118,234 miles

[slider]

97 standard   69.780

[Rocky]

On the 27 of Dec. at 32 degrees I rode 82 miles to get to 99000 on my 99 interstate. My 99 tour only has 68500. I was hoping I was going to get 100000 miles on the interstate but just didn't get the time.

[deadvelvet]

101,000 1999 Interstate bought in April of 09 only had 30,000 when bought and third ct love this bike wouldn't trade it for anything

[trussellcma]

Trussellcma 98 Valkyrie Standard now up to a measly 130,000. I promise to do better next year.

[NighthawkVTX]

So I guess buying a Valkyrie with 90 K on it isnt such an issue.
The bike looks beautiful,and well maintained.
Time to part with $4000

[Willow]

Updated.

At that rate, only 21 years to go.   
I'm thinking you need to kick it up a notch.   

[DDT (12)]

519.5K, all very happy miles... Although, some of them didn't seem so at the precise moment they occurred. Still, everything has always worked out, thanks in large measure to all the friends I have throughout the Valk community! So, looking back it's been a journey I would not have wanted to miss!!!

Still more to go, too... Leaving for InZane in the morning early! Well, I'm not riding directly there... JP and I are taking a long-cut by way of Michigan and 'Da Q in Da Woods', then on to Glacier National Park, and perhaps some other adventures... We don't have a detailed agenda, of course, so things will unfold as they do, and we'll react and adjust as I love to do...

Bruce, you are an inspiration to us all and you will go down in VRCC history as one of the greats. Hope to see you soon my friend 

[Draeger]

I second Gavin on that! A big salute to you!

This is a truly epic thread. I thought my 1998 Standard with 69,000km was high and now I'm thinking I should be careful during the break in period.

[Earl in Pensacola]

I guess you'll have to remove my name (Earl in Pensacola and the '97 Tourer with 297K) from the list.  Sad to say, last Oct. I sold it for $2500.  I put $3000 with that money and bought a '99 Black Tourer that had only 48K and that one is already up to 61.5K. I hope I live long enough to take this one up to the 300K mark!
