What's ya distance record?

Post by VTRgirl »

In the week following the return of my licence, I clocked up over 3,000kms (I think that's 1875 miles) on my mighty Storm (including a rather speedy get-away from a nasty looking car with red & blue flashing lights that looked like it may have wanted to chat...).

What distances have others covered?

(Of course, if we measure by countries I wouldn't hold a candle to any of you! LOL)
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

3473km (2171miles) in the first six days of March this year and sunshine the whole time, you’ve got to love Australia. :D
I only managed 2600km or so last week, plus a few extra metres on the clutch cover :oops:

Welcome to the UK, Mr Rumble!

You have to admit, that clutch made a pretty good wheel for 30m.

That doesn’t appear to be necessary; you already know we live on the best continent on earth :wink:

The clutch cover wasn’t a bad wheel it yielded very poor mileage though,and the handling was left wanting, not quite as responsive as I was hoping for. :?
