My mileage as usual was quite pathetic considering the fact that I can ride all year long !!

R65 :  1487
R1150R : 2975

But I did turn 80,000 miles (131,000 km) on the R65, the second week of January this year.

Riding all year long since 1993 .
I'll give up my R65, when they pry my cold dead hands from the handlebars !!!!!

It's like having a couple of faithful dogs - an older one that I baby and take for short comfortable jaunts not too far from home and a young husky strong one that loves the long hard runs that take me far far from home.  We get lost sometimes but always eventually find our way back home.

81 R65 - 564 mi.
04 R1150R - 6284 mi.

Yes, I plan on arriving at the rally on Thursday.  Gonna take the week off and explore the Bryson City / Asheville area for a few days first.  My brother and a friend are going with me.  Are you gonna make it this year?  I'm gonna try to remember to wear my R65 cap.

Yes, I am planning to go - should help improve my mileage figures for this year, too !    Not sure which bike I'll be riding on, but I do plan to be there sometime on Thursday at this point.  I'm planning to camp on site, too and will bring all my R65 wardrobe.. :D

R65, still my only machine, 6950 miles. Would've been more. But we've had  the least bike friendly winter for a long time  :'(
