Awesome job of passing the bike on to your son. My dad gave me my first bike as well. It was a 1983 Yamaha xt550. It was huge and pretty intimidating when I was 17, but it was old, beat up, and topped out at 80mph, so I dropped it plenty of times, but also managed to stay alive pretty easily.
I ended up passing it on to my cousin for $200 a year later. I wish I would've kept it and just put street tires on it, but oh well.
Holly Rocks Batman you averaged 42 miles a day? How many tires did you wear out?
Check my math:
46,000 miles / 3 = 15,333 miles
15,333 / 365 = 42 miles! ( a day)
Must have a long commute to work?

actually that is not quite right because i rode the bike much less the first year. i have been averaging 20k per year for the last year and a half. i got 18k out of the stock front tire but replaced the back at 8k from a puncture. i got 14k out of a maxxis rear after that and 18 k out of an avon roadrider front. i replaced both tires at 36300 with irc rx-01. they seem to be holding up pretty well. 24k since the last valve inspection. probably time.
Not fair considering he's in California. I put 22k in the year and a half I had my last bike, but it also is around 10 degrees for the worst month of winter.
