High Mileage

This weekend Dave and I rode to Kernville and the Sequoias.

Lots of you have chided me for only having 20K on a 2006 Nomad. Scott has almost 50k on his 2007 and some older ones have good mileage too.

But.... you guys ain't nothin' compared to "Marty" a guy that rode up with some friends of ours to Lake Isabella.

Marty rides a 1300 Honda cruiser outfitted with mild touring stuff. The last 11 months he's logged 48K miles!!! I'm not kidding you either. That's averaging 100 miles a day everyday of the year.

He's told us of short trips that turned into 6K mile trips!! He changes rear tires every 6-8 weeks. I tried to tell him the virture of car tires but it fell on deaf ears!

so for all of those that have nearly 50K on a 3 or 4 year old Nomad, just try to imagine doing that in 1 year!!!
