I don't know why, but seeing the speedo turn over to 10,000 this evening gave me a little "woohoo" moment in my helmet! I have put over 10,000 on my VZ800 and almost 10,000 on my Roadstar, but it just wasn't the same. I think, perhaps, because I bought my little GZ brand new and just knowing that every mile on that bike is mine...
So, I was just wondering if anybody else has mileage pride going on? :roll:

Congrats Maggie. Obviously your bikes aren't driveway ornaments. Bikes that are ridden often are happy bikes and their owners are happier and saner than most folks.
Yup I do just turned 6000km on my GZ.. And it was OH YA.. now for the next 6000..

Cheers to that and of course, with all the great advice on this forum, I definitely think I can do it, maybe even doing some of the tooling myself! :)
Mine is 5000 but I also ride two other bikes , but the GZ is my favorite too! CMS :2tup:

I have a case of mileage pride anticipation, less than 200 miles from the 10,000 mark... I'll post here when and if it happens.

Just turned over 11000 miles on mine this weekend.
Took a 300 mile round trip up to Bourbon Mo. to watch vintage motocross.
Had a blast and just a side note. Got 60 mpg on the trip up with the local gas
from the home town. Got 75 mpg on the way back using Mobil.
Wonder if they will home deliver..LOL..
Keep riding and keep it between the ditches

Went over 10,000 miles last year November, right after i got new tires.
And now I remembered I said I'd post here. Thus.

My 2009 is pushing 15,000 miles runs better than when I bought it, seemed it kicked in at about 8,000 miles. Enjoy it just gets better, replaced two sets of tires and the front pads. I keep my my bike at my second home, which is at Pebble Beach, Ca. Run the bike most times at 55-65 along highway one along the ocean. Great bike, no problems, where I live the bike is a bit underpowered for highway one and the wind and inclines, great bike, love it, think it will run forever. For my summer stay at my second home, will bring my Triumph for long highway fun. Both bikes are great.
