Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by Dave on 07/19/14 at 05:19:09 I like the way this is set up. The awards list the miles on each bike, and the total miles the riders have done......kind of a Two-fer. |
|
Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by MMRanch on 07/21/14 at 08:28:01 Its hard not to like the LS650 ! :) My plan is to ; "Do nothing , extra" to the second bike. Just reg maintenance and keep it stock and idled up a little(except the cam tensioner -- already done) . It should last a long time. ;) I've got the backrest to match the seat now . ::) |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by jcstokes on 07/30/14 at 19:58:35 Dear Serowbot, if the 40235 kms is translated into miles exactly, it should work out just over 25000. May I have one of your small awards? Bike brought new September 2010. Regards J C Stokes. |
|
Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by engineer on 08/02/14 at 06:59:32 These mileage awards are truly impressive. I think it is great that these members are recognized. It would be nice if their status could be somehow noted in their everyday posts as a different style of stars, or special color, something like that. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by jcstokes on 11/20/14 at 20:17:38 Serowbot, have you checked the mileage Paladin did on his Savage, I could be wrong, but one of his posts seemed to indicate more than 30000 miles? |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by Demin on 01/14/15 at 06:26:56 When I bought my '86 it had abput 7,000 miles on it.Rode it until about 35,000 then bobbed it.So it has about 50,000 on her.Still running strong when I sold her.Now to start putting miles on the '87.Others combined probably 10,000 on the first purple one('87)this purple '87,and the green '00. ;D |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by WD on 03/23/15 at 00:23:54 I've put an additional 10K on my 2003. Which is almost back together (cosmetic change up). Had an electrical system melt down like on my 98. Have combined the 2 bikes to make 1 runner. |

Sure. Got my 2000 Savage in '04 with 5K miles on it. Sold the bike in '13 with 35K miles on it. 30K miles in 8 years is under 4K miles a year. Now I am tired and retired I've done 14K miles in 30 months, a bit under 6K miles/year. Same license plate and frame on the Savage and the Scoot. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by youzguyz on 07/05/15 at 06:31:00 OK.. This more of a personal milestone, but I thought it was worth mentioning. ::) Noticed this when I got home from July 4th ride out in the Hill Country. Thumper has "lapped" Mad Hamish in the odometer arena. Mad Hamish 37,996 (call it 38,000) http://www.bikepics.com/pics/2015/07/05/bikepics-2748726-800.jpg Thumper 138,043 (call it 138, 000) http://www.bikepics.com/pics/2015/07/05/bikepics-2748727-800.jpg and I have video of them both running, and both the odometers. Next milestone target: 150,000 for Thumper or 200,000 combined :D |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall of Fame... Post by Tocsik on 10/13/15 at 18:07:14 I know it's not badge-worthy but I hit 10K on my way home today. Pulled off and got the pic right at the roll-over. I'll get up to the "real" markers by and by ;) http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k548/Tocsik87/S40/th_IMG_20151013_182716_zps6xrykgf2.jpg (http://s1115.photobucket.com/user/Tocsik87/media/S40/IMG_20151013_182716_zps6xrykgf2.jpg.html) |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Paladin. on 12/10/15 at 14:14:59 For the record, Thumper did 35,269 miles before I killed it, about 30,000 of them were mine over the eight years I had it -- about 3,800 miles/year. http://www.andruschak.net/mike/35269_miles.jpg The Vespa now has over 15K miles, 5K miles/year. |

Dave, also for critical components at reasonable prices Shell, for Rotella T6. An oil that does what we need (at a reasonable price). My wife, for understanding that life with me would be even more difficult if I didn't get out and RIDE!! Special thanks to all the people here with all the problems and all the people that provided solutions.

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Jasbee on 09/19/16 at 15:31:55 OK, I'm a relatively new S40 rider. Being keen to progress to eligibility for the Miles Hall of Fame, I posted in March 2016 that my (new in Dec 2015) S40 had then passed 5000 km. It's now done 10,000 kms so I'm posting again. Further posting will occur at 20,000 then eventually 40,000. I'm 74, so hope I make it! The bike is great. cheers Jasbee |

The first cam chain replacement was a nitrided one (Lancer's first batch) at 81k. Moved to 2nd hole on Verslavy at 105k. I will have it open again when I pull the head to send to Lancer, so I will put in another at that time... just because it is open. |

The only way I can keep ahead of most anybody on a ride is if I am the only one who knows where he is going.. or knows how to get back. There will be a party when Thumper hits 200,000 on his own.

We had an unusually warm day today and I rode in to work today. As I got of the bike I noticed some oil on the engine. I'll have to take a look at it tonight or this weekend. Badwolf, you definitely earned the iron butt award. Heck, that is more miles than I care to do in one day in a car. My hat's off to you! :o |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by madmikesmech on 08/29/18 at 08:14:58 8/29/18 my '99 rolled over 27,000 miles. Had 23k when I purchased it last spring. Since I've owned it ... Verslavy CCT, Raptor petcock, Lancer Jet set and needle spacer mod, Ed L 4" forward controls. Does this put me in the 25k+ club? http://https://s22.postimg.cc/od475xt41/20180829_011324.jpg |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Tocsik on 06/11/19 at 18:22:32 Well, I hate this happened in my commute and not a nice ride in hills! But at least it was on the way home from work. And the day before a few days off. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by ohiomoto on 06/11/19 at 20:43:02 That's awesome! Riding nearly 20k a year...wow! |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Tocsik on 06/12/19 at 08:48:23 Heh, not quite. That's 20k total. I've had her 5 years and she had 2500 miles. So about 4K per year. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by youzguyz on 06/16/19 at 13:25:43 Just stopping in to say I am still not stopping.. riding. You guys are still putting out a bunch of good info to the newbies and old timers. Keep it up! I am closing in on 200k with Thumper and 250k for both bikes. 1/4 million sounds better though.. :D |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Jasbee on 07/04/19 at 17:18:34 I've had the S40 for 3 years and 7 months; have reached the milestone of 40,000 k -- submitted for inclusion in the awards. I know that 25,000 m is actually 40,250 k, but I've been running 140/90 rear tyres since 13,000 k which means my actual mileage is about 41,400 k due to the 5% odometer understatement, trust this is OK cheers Jasbee |

Took that and the piston to a machine shop to have them checked. Both were still within tolerances. They just honed the cylinder. New rings (stock size) were put on. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by LANCER on 01/20/20 at 04:31:15 The cam bearing surfaces on the head were remarkably like new. Only the valves and seals needed replacement; the valves had tiny hairline cracks on the outer edges of the valves. Also did a valve job done on it, otherwise no issues. |

I am nudging closer to the magic number needed to post an official mileage entry. At 199,300 something now. Maybe I should hold off when I get real close to see if the "boys in the band" (Hill Country Savage run) want to have a celebration ride if they come down this year. :-/ I can always ride Mad Hamish until then. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by springman on 02/19/20 at 14:04:31 Since I just got new rubber for the bike and I calculated that I change the rear tire pretty much every 24 months, I am curious to know what tires you high mileage guys run on your bikes, how often you change that tires and what kind of mileage are you getting from these tires. I expect I will hit an indicated 40K miles this year. I'll have to do a bit of math to figure out actual mileage due to the taller gearing and bigger rear tire. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by jcstokes on 02/20/20 at 00:23:14 Dear Serobot, the attached photo is blurry but should show 80475 km or just over 50000 miles, may I have an award? |

I use Metzeler Marathon tires. Always have except for one bad experience with Pirelli Route 66. According to my crappy maintenance records: I get between 12k and 18k on the rear. The last 2 tire changes were low (12k) mileage due to cracks at the bottom of the tread. Still had good tread otherwise. Made the vendor cough up a refund on the 2nd one. Before that, usually 16k or better. Front tire. 28k to 35k. Metzelers are not cheap, but I ride a lot and would spend the difference on tire change labor in the same amount of time. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by springman on 02/21/20 at 14:42:29 Thanks Lancer. I think my next rear tire will be either a Metzeler or a Michelin. I'll probably stay with the Shinko front as I only ride 4-5k miles per year and I don't want to have a 5-6 year old front tire. |

Adding my congrats to JC Stockes and Bad Wolf! About time we got some company in the "roll over" list! MM.. you buying me lunch?? Thumper is currently "moth balled" waiting for you to get to Texas so we can roll the 200k over! Only about 200 miles short of the mark. I hope Mad Hamish doesn't break down between now and then. If he does, Thumper may need to roll over early. :( |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 02/10/22 at 20:03:31 That's some Time in the Saddle.. I appreciate it I miss it. And I Am impressed by the Big Mile Savage riders. I had a little over20,000 on my first one I sold because my health was failing and I did not think I could continue to ride. After a few years I was doing better and a friend offered me a deal on another Savage. I rode it until some gal turned left across me. No broken bones, but it left some marks. Old men don't bounce like teenagers. My Getting it Done ability is much diminished. I have a trailer load of parts. If you are hunting stuff, drop me a line. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by kirsties40 on 08/20/22 at 10:33:07 Bought the '05 S40 with 5K last spring and it just rolled over 9k. Lots of miles to go. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by jcstokes on 03/22/23 at 20:31:18 Dear Serowbot, note this doesn't qualify for an award. It merely demonstrates that the bike has done 100,000 kilometers or 62138 miles. If you get a photo showing 20698, in fact 120698 Km, it will mean the bike has done 75000 miles. This next photo may be 3 or 4 years away. Regards J C Stokes. |

Title: Re: Savage Miles Hall o' Fame... Post by Tocsik on 02/20/24 at 17:16:14 This doesn't compare to some of the miles I've seen racked up on the Savage, but I pulled over to get this pic on the way home today. |
