It really does look like a brand new bike! How many times has it rolled over now?

The odometer has flipped-over 6 times. The whole bike, only twice.

You'll wear the bloody thing out if you keep this up!
Bits of my RS have about 325,000 k k's. Like the odometre. And the frame. And the handle bars. :lol:

As repeatedly shown, 15 years (or so?)...Your motorcycle shows a cleanliness, which to myself, is beyond belief:)
Even before you "went away".
Very Cool

The 'clean-up' operation after my last months' Maritime trip, 8000km in 14 days, all secondary roads, many unpaved, some mucky trails, lots of rain and crap, a few unintentionally road-killed rodents and birds, etc, resulted in approximately 20 hours (not in a row) of TLC time. My 'seat time' vs. my 'TLC and maintenance time' ratio is totally out of whack. Life's too short. But, hey, what else could I possibly do when I'm not actually riding my bike?

In contrast, my wife's (jap) bike is no worse for the wear and it only required an oil change and a quick hosing off after the same trip, maybe an hour total time. hmmm...

For some inexplicable reason, I like it when the oil pan bottom ribs mirror on the inside of the skid plate. It soothes me. Sosume. :lol:

What kind of obsessive compulsive behavior does this represent?
Ask him how he performed warranty work on this bike, stripping a cylinder head off another bike in the friggin' showroom.
He wasn't even working at the dealer!
Something seriously wrong...or right with this guy.
