Ok, so I'm a bit crazy, I know that. I planned my 10k odometer reading to happen at work. My Buddy is my commuter bike and my commute is 4 miles each way. So either I work waaaay too much or those "I'm taking the long way home" days really racked up the miles.

Harkins Hall, the original College building. To get this pic, I had to get permission from Security to ride the scoot on campus (I have a parking spot just inside a side gate which doesn't require riding on campus).

Remember this?
So you "old timers" (yeah, I hate that term as well!) remember what it was like when you first fell in love.
My lucky number is 7, and the DH's is 8, so I picked this one out of three at the dealer.

Just starting out really, but Herman Cain would be proud.

Apropo for the 170i
Happen to look down and I captured this on my new 170i.

I hit the moment when Stella became evil just before my ride around the lake. I open my video with my speedo shot of the evil number

Awww, shucks Syd! Made me blush. I talked to Phil while I was recuperating with this last hip. I was down in the dumps because this one was harder than the first and I couldn't ride for 3 months. Scootering has become such a passion for me and I love every minute I'm on that thing!Syd wrote:Holy cow, BoneGirl! I don't know which is more incredible. Heard anything from Phil? Hahahaha!
Congratulations on both achievements BoneGirl, you are an inspiration, and not just to Buddy owners.

My beloved Stella scooter came home 2 years ago Labor Day weekend and this Labor Day I hit 3000 miles. Doesn't seem like much until you consider that it is a slightly underpowered, non-highway capable "pleasure" vehicle that competes with my countless other interests and obligations in a cold weather region.

Here's to 30,000 more!

Got my '12 Stella last July and just hit 7K averaging about 500 mile/month. Still haven't learned how to post pics so here's a link to the tweet w/a pic

Y'know, it seems that the higher the mileage you get, the fewer cool odo readings you see.
I neglected to post this one from a month ago, which was around the time my Buddy 50 was starting to make the noises that would lead to having a top-end rebuild (the first major non-maintenance work I've had done on him).

Attained earlier this summer, before the unfortunate loss of control that ultimately led to her retirement.

Re: Neat Odometer Readings
It's actually 122,222.2 miles. In another 10 to 15 years I might get another 2.

Re: Neat Odometer Readings
If the odometer had another digit you would see it is actually 123,456.7 miles
