106 days on the road

[Jim C-G]

And so it begins... I rode every day from July 30th to Oct. 15th. 28,000 km/17,400 miles. 10 Tb of video. My work is cut out for me this winter!

Jim, looking forward to vids and postings too. What a great Summer you...and others too....have enjoyed. I have been a subscriber to your channel for only 20 months....really do enjoy your content.

Quick Question: Did you start this 107 Day adventure with the Shinko Verge tires? Will you share some history there soon?

Best regards

Glad your home safely. Long winter ahead hope it brings Good things Jim.....until we meet again the very best to you.

You gotta be retired to ride for that many days and miles- bet it was a lot of fun! I’m interested in some of the maintenance on the bike for that length of a ride and I assume a tire change (at least one) and oil change, so I assume a garage had to do those.

So am I. I find I forget some things every year and learn new ones.

It was great to see you two again... and the chocolate!

I'm glad you had a good time.

I enjoyed putting it together... maybe again in 2024 as I already have plans for 2023.

Did you start this 107 Day adventure with the Shinko Verge tires? Will you share some history there soon?

Yes, fresh Shinko Verges front and back. Changed the rear at 12,000+ km in NC for a PR5 (they couldn't get me a Shinko. The front has around 22,000 on it. There will be reporting in some of my videos as I start compiliing data.

Oil change and new tires at the start of the longest section. Oil change and new rear tire at the 12,000 km mark. 2 new trailer tires half way thru (last year's tires).
2 sets of rear brake pads but there will be video on that. Broke the hitch and now it is better and stronger than original. Again, worthy of a couple of videos.

 

[Erdoc48]

Wow! 22K KM (still near 14K miles) on a front tire must be a new record.

Thanks for the video Jim - it was so nice of you to drop in and stay with me in Harrow.

You are always welcome here!

[Jim C-G]

You are always welcome here!

Thanks Pete. I enjoyed meeting you and your riding buddies. Was a great evening. Good chance I will be passing thru next summer.
