I did not think I would make it. Still riding in Toronto, Canada in December.
50,000 KM!




That's 31,069 miles bot - v1

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.

The Vespa now has over 15K miles, 5K miles/year.

Thank yew, Thank yew very much!!
I would like to thank:
Verslagen1, for the verslavys, a critical engine component (at a reasonable price)
Lancer, for the nitrided cam chain (still ticking along), and critical components at reasonable prices.
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.  You just don't know when somebody had the same problem you have now, and the fix is .. right here!!  

If I forgot anybody... it's because I'm old.

I know I'm nowhere near eligible yet, but I only bought the bike last December (new). Amongst all those impressive high mileage speedometer photos, I just wanted to show off the lovely Oxford clock alongside my speedo. My odometer will get there, this bike's a keeper!

Jasbee, it's actually 40235 kms for 25000 miles.

batman 95 savage since new ,sorry no pic 25000 mi.

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
