Recently when I added up my mileage totals so far for the year, I notice that I now have ridden over 400,000 miles on ST1100s.
It's spread out between the four girls, but each one is a 'daily' rider and get's her turn as it comes about.
All four have been to 48 states with their beauty snapped at the state line sign.


Three of them have been to Alaska, and hopefully the last one will get to go next year.
Here's to hoping me and the girls get to all make to 500,000+ :biggrin:
 
Phil you and John O have me making a big smile on my face. Mainly because I know my soon to be 21 year old motorcycle will last me a long long time. Some have asked me after all those years of ownership do i ever get tired of it or want a newer model. The answer is alway's the same because i never want to be the one to say....yeah I had an ST1100 once...best bike i ever had and i should of kept it.:)
 
That's excellent Phil! Congrats!

I think I'm about 11K behind you on ST1300s, since November 2005! :)
 
Nice...I’m a relative noob with 37K on the 2000, and I’ve only put around 12K on the 94. That whole work thing gets in the way of my riding! Do all of yours have Russel seats?

During the mileage accumulation (and now) I work a full time job. I plan on retiring in a couple of years. I have 3 Russell Seats - 2 built to me in a 'ride in'


and one that the original owner was almost identical to my physical characteristics. I had a 4th one but it did not fit me so I recently sold it. When I go for a long ride, I pick one of the Russells and put it on the bike I'm taking. For daily back and forth to work, I use the stock seats which I have 5 on hand.
 
Well that's great news. Now that they're nicely broken in you can start riding them a bit hard. I hope you haven't been slowed down too much in the corners while you've had to baby them. :)
 
UP, If you had done all those miles on a 1300 maybe you would not have all those after market parts in you. Or maybe you would.
