Cross posted on Boxerworks, but most of you aren't on there.  Rob still is, though!

Before:

The actual turnover happened in the middle of an intersection in the community of Crabtree, Oregon, which is why I couldn't stop right there and get a picture of 0.00.  Also, when it turned over it started showing hundredths of miles again, which it stopped doing when I first went over 10,000 miles.

This is on my R65, which had about 20,000 miles on it when I bought it.  Now I'm trying to make a list of maintenance stuff I need to do, besides swap out those worn Pilot Actives.

Congrats on hitting 100,000 miles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I've got 22,000 miles to go, looks like it will be a few years before that happens for me .

I'm looking at that frosty 37 degree temperature!

BTW, I'm on Boxerworks, too. Rob says it's cat-o-riffic!  [smiley=wink.gif]

Isn't there some kind of badge or something for those big miles, I've seen something on Snowbums I'm sure?

Could be an age thing on my part though :'(

There are mileage awards from BMW Motorrad but requires some form of documentation to prove mileage. Ask your local BMW dealer for the details.

No local dealer for me.  I just ordered some stuff from Ted Porter (carb parts, and he didn't say anything about a mileage award.  Since I couldn't  keep the original odometer going for the full hundred thousand I probably wouldn't qualify.  :-(
