I've owned my "T" since July 1997 and currently have a little over 32,000 miles on it. That's six years and one month. Has anyone owned their "T" longer than that?

Who Has Owned Their "T" The Longest |
Lead | ||
|
I got my bike posted on the "Member's Bike" forum today and a comment that came back about it gave me the idea for this poll. I didn't set it up with the "Poll" setup, since it doesn't give you a lot of options. Anyway, here's the question.

I'm not anywhere close to your ownership but I'll throw my hat in the ring anyway. I bought my 2000 Tourer in November of 1999 that would be 3 years 8 months ago.

Ken; I've got you beat by a whole month, well it was in june of 97 anyway ! I have to admit that for the last two seasons here in Illinois I've not kept my mileage up to the standard I set up the first few years. I've only got about 27,500 or so on mine. By the way great color choice, I have the same . This month I'll be cruising Wisconsin and next month it'll be down to Louisiana for a short trip. That's still not the miles I should be doing but what the hell I do what I can get away with between the wife and the boss ! Keep Ridin'

Doug,
Congrats...it looks like you and I are the type that finds a good thing and hangs on to it. I was hoping that I was going to win this one and have something to feel superior about in the ACE Tourer forum, but it looks like you're the front-runner at the present. I guess I'll try to win the title of the tallest "T" owner...I'm 6'5". If someone ups me on that one, I'm almost a shoe-in for the meanest and ugliest "T" owner. What do you think? Ken

I won't comment on the meanest and ugliest statement but I will say you have the most unusual top box I've ever seen on a T.

Ken, I have had my T since Sept. of '99. It currently has 46,040 miles on it. I have put on 38,500 of those miles. Wouldn't trade the experience of commuting, touring and srafing the Dragon on my T for anything. It's been great!

I hope we don't have to have a contest for meanest and ugliest. You might be meaner, but I'm probably uglier. Why do you think I've never posted a picture... Don't want to be responsible for breaking monitors. I used to use the name 'Old_n_Ugly' on various boards.
I will concede that you have a 'cooler' top box than any other I've seen. ![]() Great choice of bikes too. Putz |

And she's from Seattle!! I was feeling like the lone wolf up here in my corner of the world. I know there were a couple others from the area, but we
haven't heard from any of them in soooooooo long. I only saw one other T at the governor's run and there were thousands of bikes there.

Well hello to everyone, I will start with the Forum poll: I bought my 2000 "T" in May of 2001 with 1.1 miles on the odo. so I have had her for 6
yrs, (16,000 miles now). First bike and I am glad it has been a GREAT experience. As soon as I find the pictures I'll post them.
Gr8scott51, I saw your green/creme "T" there this years Governor's Run, and I thought the same exact thing, the only other ACE here, thanks for the card !
