Catching Odometer Numbers while Riding

[GreenZR]

Took this picture today.

Nicely done!

Two things about that photo stuck me:

* it took some forethought and a little math to reset the trip meter at just the right moment. Plus discipline and a little luck to not reset it until after the magic moment.

* It cannot be done on an ST1300, because the trip readout is above total mileage. You'd have to have over 500,000 miles or kms on the bike to continue the sequence after 123.4, and as we have seen earlier in the thread it rolls from 199999 to 000000. (At least, it does when displaying one.)

I caught a few along the way.







I had to wait until 21 after 1.




150,000 mile award - I bought it with 1875 miles on it. Sold at 179,900 miles but I saw the bike yesterday and it has 198,xxx miles on it.

On my recent trip to NNESToc I hit the 100k mark. I bought the bike at 11k so I feel the 100k award is not available to me until 111k.

So, here's one for the books!

Came home tonight and my odometer was sitting at:




Then I had to run a couple of errands in the truck, and when I got back:



So, ST1300: 79800 Taco: 24800! Now that was interesting!

Caught this as I rolled into the neighborhood on my way home.

Thought I'd post this photo I took a few weeks back. Haven't been able to do as much riding as normal this year, so I have to keep myself occupied in any way I can.

I was riding today and stopped at a stop sign to make a turn and this is what I had on the odometer, 222444 miles.

Well that is because Honda made the odometer reset back to zero when you turn 200,000 miles, and mine has done that!

Earlier this summer, before the arrival of the 1300.

Last Thursday I ran a Saddlesore 1000 leaving WA and through MT. My 3rd fuel stop revealed this:



I couldn't have planned it if I wanted to. I actually didn't notice until I was taking the picture... I had to look twice...

I like the symmetrical binary patterns.

111111
110011
101101

This was this past week. Tried to sync the trip meter to get all 8's. How'd I do?

This was this past week. Tried to sync the trip meter to get all 8's. How'd I do?

Wrong time.
Wrong temp.
Wrong speed.
Wrong date.
But 8th gear at 0mph is a neat trick.

Okay, I'm :nuts1: and my wife will agree with me, so...

Stefani missing 10,000 miles on her odometer got me thinking about what numbers do you like to catch on your odometer?

Some are the actual number, and some could be patterns.

How to catch them is fun for me too, times like when I know a number is coming up, but I get caught up with all the traffic around me, then I look down a see the number I was watching for! I very seldom take pictures of them; I just catch them as I?m riding. :biker:

So some of the numbers for me are:

Any 9..9 numbers.
Any 1000 that pops up.
Any pattern of 91919 (any number replacing 9 or 1)
Any pattern of 99199 (any number replacing 9 or 1)
Any pattern of 99999 (any number replacing 9)

The first 10,000! (one Stefani missed)

Then:
25,000
50,000
75,000

Of course 99999 and 100,000

Any other numbers anyone else like to catch?

Bought my 11 with 13,300 last year from a really nice guy. Sent him a pic this spring with 33,300 on the od. While i love the travel, a part of me is sad that im putting the miles on it.

On return from 2021 NatSTOC, hit 222,222 miles:

according to "Fleetwood Mac" there are 2 kind, winners and loosers. Two kind of trouble, living and dying.... keeps it simple
