150,000 mile award request

[tonythecarguy]

I bought my 2006 ST1300 with 20,555 miles in September of 2011. Last week while riding US-276 north of the blue ridge parkway I surpassed 170,555 miles.

On average, 12,500 miles per year for the last 12 years.

Onward to 200K!

Well done, Tony. It's been my pleasure to have shared a very few of those miles with you, along with some good barbeque.

I'm not going to be the guy to say it never needs anything, but I feel like it has given me faithful service: SMC early on (43k, I blame first owner, I've flushed fluid yearly since and it has behaved), water pump seals (100k), shift lever seal(130k), transmission output seal(140k). All three were just minor weeps, a less fussy owner may have just left them alone. I preemptively did an U-joint, alternator and fuel pump because, while expensive, they were still cheaper than a one way U-haul and runed vacation. Only needed (some) valves adjusted twice (36k and 144k).
