I know how he does it gets so many miles on that bike of his. He has hired a long haul trucker and has bike towed behind the trucker constantly.

Congratulations that is quite the milestone that not many can ever even hope to come to. Especially up here in the cold north where we sell "Saskatchewan Seal Skin Boots"

I have a few pairs anyone want to buy them cost is $99.00 a pair size 9.

Not many riders get to put that sort of mileage on one bike - but don't you have at least two? Do you still have the Super Tenere Garry?

It shows Miles if you enlarge the photo you can see it's miles.

400000 miles = 643737.6 kilometers

That's a LOT of riding.

Yes, I switched the display to miles to watch it roll over, I have a photo of every time all 6 numbers changed, in kms and miles.
I've had 3 other bikes during the 8+ years I've owned the Voyager, A Vulcan Drifter that I sold at 210k, a KLR that I sold at 48k and my 'new' Super Tenere has 37k and climbing.
Ride more, Worry less!

Congrats!
