350,000 on the Black Pearl

[dduelin]

Have you trued the front axle to the forks? This should help. I can post video if you like?

Ray’s talking about brake pads costing $120 + or more than double dark tires.

Congratulations on your achievment on such a great motorcycle. 350,000 miles equates to 563,000 kilometres which is 37 times around Australia.
I hope my 2010 Black Pearl reaches that mileage, i have a way to go yet.

The Black Pearl has been to 49 states, DC, 6 Canadian provinces and 1 Mexican state (so far). I've rode to Alaska twice, as far north as Fairbanks twice and the Arctic Circle once.
350,000 miles is 14 times around the world at the Equator.

Outstanding Ray !! Glad to hear that both you and the Pearl have achieved this. Any major mechanical replacements,,, on the Pearl I mean,,, not you ?? btw,,, my Black 2012,,, ThunderSTruck, is running T6 now as well,,, based on your success with it,, cheers,,, CAt'

Congrats again and a Big Thanks for all the money you have saved me at the gas pump - I switched to Regular gas on my St1300 a few years back after talking to you.

Raymond, that is a lot of miles on one bike. I am glad that you get to my neck of the woods to swap a few tales. I am sure we will meet once or twice next summer.

Congratulations.

Any major mechanical replacements,,,

Alternator, and that was preventative maintenance.

I have 303,158 miles on the bike now. More than enough to know that at least 300,000 of those miles I rode. I bought the bike new in May of 2009. Runs like new even looks like new from 150 feet! Best purchase I've ever made. Never had a mechanical failure that left me walking. The bike has...

Wow! Congratulations. Makes me think that my '06 with 226,000 km on it is just a baby yet.

 

[STrep]

That is some serious miles and ride time Raymond!

 

[okckeith]

Congrats Raymond! Hope to see and ride with you many more times.

 

[St-Gerard]

I'm not worthy! As he bows in respect. Thats more miles than all the bikes I have owned since 1984. Here I thought I was riding alot with my 81 Silverwing putting 70,000 Kilometers on it since 2016. Congrats

 

[ChriSTian_64]

That's Amazing.... Wow !

It proves that the best way to keep them running... is to keep them running.

Congrats Raymond.

Raymond
You're going strong.
Was great meeting you up in Minnesota.
My 2012 Super Tenere passed 500,000 Kilometers this summer but with 2 of them to ride it will still be a while before it sees 350,000.
