Catching odometer numbers while riding

[dduelin]

I turned 9999 miles on this morning's ride. Glorious blue skies, 60 degrees!

10 minutes later I got this one:

Could you send some of that warm weather north. I'd like mine to go up from the 2k miles I got on it since I bought late late last summer

 

[dersan]

10 minutes a mile you the slowest biker ever mate cheers haha

Now we know how he gets great fuel mileage.

Ditto to England as well. I don't think I've seen more than 3 days of sun together for at least 18months. Last summer was the coldest and wettest summer I can remember in my life.

10,000 miles at 10:00 AM on the 10th of February! Why couldn't ya have waited for October?

Not really...he dropped a bar on the fuel gauge in that one mile! lol

I passed this milestone on my ST1300 today. I still absolutely love riding this bike and hope to see 242,424 miles one day at 2:42 PM.

I hit this a couple weeks ago I think it was. Posted it elsewhere as I forgot about this thread.

I am happy when I get a chance to ride. No, its not the weather. Its the darn san francisco/oakland bay bridge project.

How were you able to calculate a 1.21 mile trip to coincide with the time, *and* the odometer? My brain hurts just thinking about it lol!

There may have been some *** monkey business *** with the clock but the odometers are real. When I saw the 121,212 approaching I stopped and calculated when to reset the trip meter so it showed 1.2 during the one mile the odometer showed 121,212. I had done this before for other combinations:





The next major one will be at 122,667. 789 miles later the odometer will be reading 123,456 and the trip meter will show 789.0. The ST1300 has two trip meters so I lose the use of one during the waiting period.

If only you'd caught that doing 30 mph in 3rd gear! Oh we'll, that wouldn't have been safe anyway.

Ha! That's using the ol' noggin! I can appreciate artistic liberty for the sake of the task; it would be what I deem quite within the bounds of creativity to set up for the shot, and perfectly legit

It does make me feel as dull as dishwater and more than a little envious though, lol. I can't math my way out of a wet paper bag, and I always seem to notice such numbers one kilometre too late...

Not sure about that. Looks like he used a quarter tank for that ten minute mile.

Here's my husband's odometer this weekend traveling the Outer Banks (OBX) in North Carolina.
We just hit 140,000 miles.

You better get riding! You need to catch up with your NCX

I'm really feeling like a slacker next to all you high mileage riders:

This was my FJR1300 last month, but I've put almost another 1,000 miles on it since then. I've also put a few miles on the NC700XD because my wife is not doing her job of cranking out the miles on it.
