Kframe - I'm sure I should be posting my response as a new post, but ................ it truly has been a bunch of miles. A very few were near-other-world, most were great, only a few were something I could have done without. Only problem I have racking up the miles on the Bonnie (and the recently sold W650) is that I can't add these miles to the ones I've put on Beemers. The BMWMOA is big on total miles on Beemers, and the 88K on non-BMW doesn't count! Those scoundrels!
I do want to hit 500K, and it doesn't have to be on Beemers to count, at least in my mind. 5000 miles of my total mileage was ridden on my T100, from Cleveland to Wyoming and back. That trip left me feeling I'd done something on a bike that was neat ... I rode a Bonnie for 5K miles, across much of old American non-Interstate roads, and totally enjoyed the impression that the Bonnie and I were doing something I hadn't done since the mid-1960s, on another Brit bike, a BSA Spitfire Scrambler.
Excuse the rambling .... your response to my initial note just got me thinking about my biking experiences.
