6 years, 3 months
Taxes are Good. Millions that have been on Welfare for the last 30 years are depending on you. Also Millions that are coming over the border each year are depending on YOU.
Also taxes will fix our shitty schools and roads that have been broken for 40+ years.

You really don't get it do you???

Since October last year, but it sat in storage until March.  So, like four months... and perhaps not any more after this last afternoon.

I still feel like a rookie.  Have mine for only 1413 days (29-Aug-02 to be exact) and 11011 miles.  Hey, just noticed; a Binary odometer -- cool.  :thumb:

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Owned the bike for 18 days

Bike has been running for 9 days

Bike has been running properly for a total of 2 days

Welcome, JonC!

That's not bad!  You'll be done with break-in in no time!  :thumb:

First rode the one I own in August 2002, but purchased it in April 06 (from my buddy), already 700 miles on it.  Took awhile but finally got it.
