Oh. I thought the title meant you still had all your fingers! ???

I'm 281 miles behind you, even after the Ventura trip.

Congratulations to both you and to Brammo! These hummers jus' keep hummin'.

Welcome to the 10,000 club!  You'll probably fly right by me in the next few months at the rate you're going.  I'll have to ride over and visit you again just to keep up.  ;-)

It will be a while...though I have over 10,000 gas-free miles easily between the Enertia, the Plus and now the Empulse R.

Just clicked over 4000 miles on the Empulse...not bad considering my commute is only 10 miles a day total. If I was just riding to and from work I would be at 1200 to 1300 miles...of course who just uses an Empulse for commuting :)

late night rainy rides are the bomb...

Today marked the joining of the fifth digit club. It happened on the freeway, so I didn't get a photo of it, but I'm geeky enough to compute that it's 21.54434690031884 cubed.

This is what happens when you discover that the iPhone's calculator transforms itself when turned from portrait position to landscape.

BWAHAHA! 

Welp, the latter ten were pretty much just as awesome as the first ten.  Maybe even moreso?



I also have a lot more miles in general under my belt -- when I first got the bike I'd only been riding for about a year.

My only regret is that I haven't yet bought a silly camera with which to take fancier pictures yet.

Sumbeech!I was wondering when you would post here. I'm at 19,481 and was hoping to beat you, but it was not to be. I guess I just have to put the bike up on the track stand and tie the throttle down to beat you to 30K!

Yes, the miles just keep getting more fun and the BrammoGrin bigger. ;D

Ahahahaha yesssss.  I was nervous!  I also noticed that I beat out a year anniversary of 10k by 6 days.

Cat -- my commute is about 17 miles each way.  Haha those miles represent a LOT of extracurricular faffing about.

I can bear witness to this.  I've randomly seen you gallivanting around the City more times than I can remember.  And it seems like you're either at full stop or full steam ahead, there's no in between with you!

Are you trying to say the throttle had gradations between ON and OFF?? What will they think of next?

Oh, fantastic.  I'm glad to hear my daytime expeditions to startle tourists around SF have been having some effect.

And wait what?  You all haven't replaced your throttle tubes with household lightswitches yet?

I've stopped thinking Wh/mile and started thinking WTFs/mile.
