The Storm is on 44,000, the old Mondeo is on 165,000. Change the oil regularly and treat them nicely

Regular oil and filter changes always seem to help all bikes I've ever known.
That a fair distance though (twice around the equator), so well done. How have the parts faired as in paintwork, wheel bearings, brake discs etc?

Paintworks a bit faded cupa,but just usual stuff,couple of cush rubber sets,and c+s to go with.front wheel bearings from to many attempts at naff wheelies,starter motor and the weakest link(starter lead).And surprise surprise,it begins with a c ends in a t and has c in the middle.Change oil every 2500 thou that is the one like you say.Keep thinking of getting shot,but for the money i paid,and what else i could get whats the point.Think these bikes take kindly to personalisation,and they sound like an old lanny bomber coming in to land.

somebody on the superhawks forum did like 150k on theirs without any engine work, no CCT problem in sight!
