I know it's no where near the most mileage on these bikes, probably not even in the top 10, but I'm pretty proud nonetheless.

Rolled 50,000 miles on the odometer today on the poker run. Sits at about 50,050 right now. On the way home saw an indicated 105mph. No idea if that really means 95 or even 100. Speedometer is, as always, off. Still pretty impressive, with as much of me as there is to push through the wind.

Regardless, I friggin love this bike.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Why can't Hinckley make a bike whose speedometer works?

My friend Cindy said her speedometer read 95 (2005 HD Dyna Lowrider). Assuming hers is more accurate I guess that makes sense. I've surmised that when I'm doing 45 it reads 50. So about double that makes sense. I really have to get that Veypor installed.

P.S. I've seen about 115 on the speedo before, but that was years ago and going down a really long hill.
