8000 miles

Well if all goes well I will turn over 8,000 miles today. I bought the bike used in May of 2005, and did not ride it in 2010. The carb was gummed up, and I rode a Yamaha dual sport last year.

This year I have averaged over 80 mpg after getting the carb cleaned. A friend did it for me for free. He likes to work on bikes. He just returned, and I think hi is bored.

I have 4 cycles to choose from to ride, but on short trips, and just messing around I prefer the GZ. I have 2 Yamaha dual sport tw200. One is licensed for Illinois, and the other for Arizona. I brought the one home from Arizona, but will probably eave it out there this next winter, as I plan on getting a place to store it.

The other cycle is a 2008 Kawasaki Nomad 1600. My wife and I usually take this together. I seldom ride this by myself.

I also ride a Honda Rincon and Rubicon atv.
