- August 28, 2015, 01:14:51 AMMy Drifter turned 10,000 miles this week. It is an 01, so it is finally broke in. I had the valves checked and all of my fluids changed this year. I am taking a moto-camping trip with it to Hell's Canyon the 2nd week of September for 5 days.
I put quite a few more miles each year on my Honda Silverwing Maxi Scooter. Quite a few reasons for doing so:
1. Anonymous bike. No one sees me coming or going on it.
2. Fuel injected. It starts, it goes, no choke.
3. Under seat storage makes it a grocery getter.
4. Step through design makes it easy to mount and dismount.
The Silverwing is really my daily driver. I always enjoy starting and riding the Drifter.... but it is a different deal.
I used to put on quite a few miles each year. I don't know if it is old age or what, but it seems like I have to have a place to go and a reason for it before I leave the house. After over 40 years of riding, I still enjoy riding the bike, but I have to have a reason to go someplace.

- August 27, 2015, 16:33:40 PMOn Aug 2nd, I turned 100,000, today 101,000, and I haven't been anywhere since Drift-In! Well, I did go to Anamosa, IA, but that was only 350 miles...

- August 06, 2015, 15:02:19 PMI've been riding the "W" a lot lately. I have a goal for it, too. I just need about 1,500 more miles on it to make 25,000. I bought it with 9,000 on it in 2009 for my 60th birthday. I just changed oil for what should be the last time this season in the Drifter. It's pretty warm here, but by the end of the month, the weather will change, so I switched back to 10-40. 100,075 (60,000 since 2010, when I put it on the road) on the odometer. No more big rides planned for the year, just a few 350-400 milers...I need 2,500 on the Drifter, too...so just another 4,000 and I'll have met all my presets!
