WOW, 5000 miles on 1 gallon of gas, that's awesome mileage (LOL), Congratlulaions, I wish you many, many more happy miles, Ride Safe!

Great Mike and best wishes.

Got mine in April and just turned 4k. Fuel mileage is getting better as the mileage increases. I am regularly seeing 40mpg and better.

Congrats on the 5k mark. My 08 turned over 4500 miles today. Our riding season here is pretty short compared to other parts of the country, so I try to take advantage of every nice day.

my bike celebrated its 1st birthday just 3 weeks agoo and I thought I was doing ok with 5500 miles on it. Then my battery ran dead and had to call for a jump since I was out of town. Guy takes all the info and when I say the miles he's like "thats all?" then he told me about his xx miles on xxx bike. Made me feel bad almost

I hit the 5000 mile mark 2 weeks ago. The best part...they are all mine -

Ronnie, your the man. I hope to get some miles as soon as this swamp butt weather goes away. When its this hot here in Texas, I just write about riding a Nomad. lol

cactusjack · 07-21-2008, 03:33 PM

I bought mine last September 30 and am a couple hundred shy of 15,000 right now. Keep riding, you fellas have a way to go.

I just rolled over 9100. Not bad for having two little kids and not getting out all that much. I have hit 10 states on it since 2007. Maybe I can hit montana before the cold weather arrives.

**ringadingh** · 07-21-2008, 03:48 PM

You guys should get out more. Ive put 20,000 miles on so far, this is my third summer on the bike, and I got cut short last fall because of all the snow.

ccmjr77 · 07-21-2008, 04:46 PM

I will pass the 10k mark soon, which reminds me, I still have not gotten new tires yet...

**coacha** · 07-21-2008, 04:53 PM

congrats on the 5000 miles. I have put 9000 miles on mine since I got mine in November. Amazing how the miles just get eaten up.

blowndodge · 07-21-2008, 04:56 PM

I guess I shouldn't post how many miles I don't have since my 2/2006 purchase date ::) ::)
