I think I can do it

I'm shooting for 60,000 miles before the end of this year and I think I can do it. It's been rough, though. Been working 10-12 hours a day lately. We'll see. By the way, she'll be 2 years and 2 months on the 27th of this month.

Wow, I am pushing 9000kms in a year and a half. The last two years here have been shitty rainy though.

Shit dog. Just take a couple small trips of ghost town hunting or taking pics of your bike in front of stuff.

Sleeper, you are a nut dude. But damn you get some riding in. As much as I love riding, I cant imagine getting the mileage you do.

It's not easy when you don't have time in the afternoons and Sundays. Most of these are done between 4:00 and 6:00 am weather permitting, of course. I get up at 3:45 every morning and leave at 4:00 even on weekends just to be able to ride. If I don't, I will never get to ride. Last Thursday, I worked from 7:30am until 7:50 at pm. I always start at 7:30 am and work until whenever. I now have over 105,000 miles under my belt in 4 years and one month. 47,000 miles on my R1 before I traded it in for the Busa.

Here's an example of my early Sunday morning rides. Left the house just before 4:00.

Got home just in time to go to the gym with my wife at 9:00 and spent the rest of my day with the family.
