Hondas are fading in your line up. When you get ready to sell the Valk I'd appreciate a phone call.

1150RS
Valkyrie
1200R Sport
Multistrada
800GT
Guzzi or Norton, I can't remember
and now a 1300GT

What did I miss?
Triumph ST and the 800 is also a ST; the old Goose is a 850T. I have the opposite problem from most that complain about BMW's; I like the dealers in both Tampa and Bentonville. Have yet to find a Honda dealer I'd let change ATV tires :D.

The Valk's probably a keeper (has been since 98) but you'll be the first to know otherwise.

Congrat on the 50K milestone. You are now half way there. Another couple of years ought to do it, to get your 100K award.
..... add up my bikes in just the last 3 years and it's over 150K but won't happen on the ST now :D. Did put 106K on my LT in 3 years before I sold it.

Congratulations Tom. That is quite an accomplishment, you have so many bikes that I know it difficult to get that many miles on one bike!!
Thanks, right now in the stable only the 1150RS and Valkyrie have over 50K. I only really keep track of tire and oil changes though ..., :D

Batteries? What about oil? I think in an oil thread Tom mentioned he buys Rotella in the drum.

He told me once before, the only way he can keep up with the oil change/tire history is by using an Excell spread sheat.

I wonder how, or if, he keeps track of his total mileage.

I don't think it matters to him. "Been there, done that,..........and don't have to prove anything to anybody"!!! That is our TPadden.

Keep the wheels turning Colonel. We will see you when we see you.

That's how I do it. The cars and bikes are on a spreadsheet.

Way to go Tom. How about the BMW dealer in Sarasota?
Bought my Triumph from Hap at Haps but he died :(. I'd done business with him 10 years before and he remembered me. He actually fell on the showroom floor while showing me the bike. Really weird to hear over the PA system: "Haps fallen again".

I'm sure they are still good. Same family does Honda.
