I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

How many .........
How many valleys verdant have you throttle - twisted through , down long asphalt ribbons ?
How many ascentions into tree - sparse thin air and silent stone have you laughed through ?
How many hot shimmering nights have you flirted with neon and admiring stares , with staccato bravado through glassy steel canyons ?
How many verandas , dry and congenial have sheltered you from cloudbursts as you waited for the beckoning rays ?
How many times have you endured the wet grey , salty - soaked journey in white-knuckled frozen trembling ?
Measure this RIDE in laughs , friendships , memories and private joys that cannot be assayed , save for the few who have learned to feel it's language .
Selah .

To me the thread just shows how much Triumph owners RIDE their bikes instead of go from bar to bar.
Almost 11,000 on my 2010 T-bird. I had 33K on my 02 TBA before I said hello to the back of a pick-up in Sept. of 09. 
Some bars are farther away from each other than others. 
I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.

Actually Wade, from your previous post, I was kinda hopin' that you'd just leave your answer at that, and just pretty much tell us the answer to this question in YOUR case is just...ahem..."blowin' in the wind"!
(...it was MUCH more poetic that way, ya know!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So far, this is the least ridden year since I bought the bike new. I haven't ridden in 6 weeks since the parking deck issue, dealing with insurance and back ordered parts.  The extreme weather hasn't helped either. Only 3k this year which is a far cry from 10-12k/yr.
Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

I'm sorry Dwight , well I was in that poetic right - brain state , brought about by a combination of expresso , absynthe and bubble wrap , and then later in the day - POOF ! I woke up in this analytical left - brain state .
Sometimes I'm Cain , sometimes I'm Able .
sometimes deranged , but most times stable
