A rough estimate brings it to around 3,400

can't know exact numbers since my odo is still broken, but that's a solid estimate excluding the few times I went exploring (aka got lost) through the cities I went through

I think you might be under estimating...i put on almost 2000 miles this ride...and averaged over 3000 miles on the Tail of The Dragon trips...you have to be much closer to 4000 miles i would guess..

Knobbies?!? Where's the challenge in that! Avon Cobras baby!

(knobbies on a much lighter bike would definately be funner)
