I bought my Sprint ST June 13 last year. I know that there are many more riders out there that put on more miles in a year than I did but I turned over 10,000 tonight on the way to our monthly Rat Pack meeting.

And I wanted to say "I LOVE MY SPRINT"

Cheers,

Brian

Just wanted to add that I was there for the momentous occasion...

And that the faster BLUE would have arrived at the 10,000 mile mark faster.

That is all, Thank you.

Wait... That doesn't make any sense. Even if blue were faster (hardly the case), he would have gone just as many miles in the same time period... :???: :razz:

You're 100% correct, it doesn't make sense. Tornado Red has been scientifically proven to be the fastest, and would have arrived at the 10k mark even faster. Come on guys, this isn't rocket science! :hammer:

duckie - I just hit 2200 yesterday. One of these days we should meet up, I want to see the black in person. I need to wash my bike first! :-D

Leave it to my bud Rick to get on here and throw the "Faster Blue" curve to everybody else.
Don't you know you just replied to the "Faster Red" thread.

Brian

P.S. duckie just to let you know--- at 10,000mi. it's just like I have heard so many say before. The bike just seems to get better and better. The black is super cool congrats!

Brian and I have done extensive scientific research on speed versus color. And by using the swag method it was determined that atmospheric conditions became the deciding factor. On cloudy overcast days, the Sunset Red had a slightly larger solar pull, which in turn equated in a small percentage of speed increase. On clear blue sky days the Caspian blue was drawn toward the blue sky, which equated to a slightly lighter bike, which made for a faster bike.



Or was it the other way around........



I think Brian was supposed to write it all down.....

You forgot....at night, the Black cuts through the darkness like a stealth fighter, only being seen when it wants to, and then only by it's taillights!
