I'm certainly jealous. That's a lot of riding. I doubt if I'll ever see 100K on either of my rides. Not from lack of desire though and I intend on keeping them for the long haul.

Congrats,
Jer

Congrats...that gives us all hope! I'm working towards my first 100K on BMWs. I have to add up miles from the other two bikes, but I need another 5-7K. I better get to ridin'!

I too am at 150k on BMW's

but that's about 7 different bikes....

good on you for keeping yours in the fold long enough to reach that goal.

Congratulations! Any secrets to your (and Igors') success? What oil do you use? Any major overhauls along the way?

Igor success

Roger....nuttin' special.......bike has rarely been ridden for less than 30 minutes, usually 1 hour or more......very easy on any engine....

-religious oil (only) changes every 2500 miles (Spectro 20w-50)
-oil FILTER changes every 5 or 10,000 miles
-religious valve lash check every 3K miles
-shut fuel off3-5 minutes before shutting engine off....consumes most of fuel in bowls.
-now using Stabil "blue" (marine applications) for eth gas....use REAL gas most of the time
-new valve seats ages ago by Oak, trans o'haul by Oak years ago (circlip).

,,,thanks fer askin'!!!

Threadus resurrectus. My R1150RTP has been down for a month. I normally ride every day. I hate putting miles on my R75 (well, I enjoy puttin miles on my R75, but like the odometer where it is), but I'm about to give up and start riding the R75/6 every day, at least for the next week, 90 miles round trip. This bike is normally reserved for weekend spins close to home.

Keep on riding

My R69S turned over 300,000 5 years ago and I sold it. Bet thing I ever did. The man who bought it did a complete restoration and I get to ride it.

Enjoy a great bike and keep us posted on the mileage.
