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

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?

I think Bobs had 72K on her but he sold up and must have moved on as I havent seen him on the forum for a while.

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.
