I was teasing you about not riding cause your bike is always in the shop for another upgrade - all in good fun and I am jealous of your Ohlins forks :)

All good bro, I didn't take it in a bad way.  :chugbeer:

i guess somebody is bound to ask, so it might as well be me: any problems during those 10000000000000000000 miles?

I'm not planning to sell mine any time soon, so I'm curious. I only have 40 000 miles though...

Education is important. Riding my bike is importanter.

The only problems have been self inflicted. Wife backed into it with her car and broke the shift lever mount. I broke the glove box door trying to make it work better. I ran over a rock and bent the front wheel. I forgot to tighten the front fender bolts after a tire change and it fell, off, got run over and ruined it and the brake lines. I had a leaking radiator due to undetermined cause fixed with Stop-Leak.

I have changed the engine oil (Rotella) and filter 17 times and rear drive oil 13 times using synthetic gear oil. I have changed the coolant 3 times and the hydraulic fluids twice. Adjusted valves twice and TB sync once. Secondary butterflies removed and Power Commander V and Area P CF slip-on added in the first 6 months.

It's only been in the shop once - for saddle bag latch recall.

Nothing worse than having your balls go missing.
