Only 400 miles or so...but I started pretty late in the game...if it were when we started this...I'd have been at 1200 so far...oh well...I'll have to make it up!!!

Nope and nope. I don't get out socializing much b/c I work 2nd shift. And, at least around here, the sportbikers don't often participate in charity group rides, for whatever reason.

You say "15 miles..." like it's a bad thing when it looks to me you've more than doubled the odo reading since you picked it up. Good job!!!

Ahhh, okay. Yeah, I grew up in Randleman and Asheboro most of my life and Brad still lives in Randleman. He's my brother...Beane is basically my brother as we all grew up together. They both ride with a bunch of people from both areas and thought maybe you'd know them.
Ever head to High Point much?

Ohhhh, now it makes sense. Maybe they're part of the late night sporties at the Hess station by A'boro High. I chat once in a while if I take 220 home. I get to HP maybe once every other month, if that. Not much reason to go there. I usually end up in R'man once a week for beer tho. We're still waiting fot that all important vote....

Rice_Eater · 05-01-2008

I'm in.

Kawasaki Vulcan 900. I rode it out of the dealership in Mid December 2007 and have over 11,000 so far...

*ispeed77* · 05-01-2008

hey Rice_Eater, we just need a pic of your odometer with the word "ROTOR" in the pic, then you are officially in. thanks.

Rice_Eater · 05-01-2008

My daily commute is walking from the 4th floor apartment where we live down to the 2nd floor where I teach. Have had my bike four months and have 11000+km on it.

Love to ride.

RichLockyer · 05-01-2008

Understood, but to participate in the odometer race, you have to post a photo of your odometer with a scrap of paper visible in the photo with the word "rotor" written on the paper.

Also, please note on the paper that your odometer displays in km instead of miles.

Rice_Eater · 05-01-2008

I'm in.

The pic didn't post. How does this work? I tried to paste the pic directly in and it didn't work. I saw it needed a url for the online pic and uploaded the pic to picassa online, put in the url and didn't work.

HOw do I do this?

kerrdj · 05-01-2008

ive done a little over 2500... planning a trip to zedx's area soon...

RichLockyer · 05-01-2008

Here ya go Zed....

zedx11 · 05-01-2008

thanks Rich, got him in.

Rice_Eater · 05-02-2008

Thanks Rich! Much appreciated.

Do you mind telling me how you did that? THere is another forum that I have tried to post on using the same page setup that I could not post pics on either. I'd love to know how to do it right.

Thanks again.

Rice_Eater · 05-02-2008

From April 1st to October 31st.

Does this mean you will count the difference between the original milage number we post when we enter and the ending one in October?

For example:

May 1st: posts pic with 10,000km on October 31st posts pic with 21,000 total km. For logged total of 11,000km ridden during the contest? (which would put those who enter later at a big disadvantage, time wise) Or is it who has put the most milage on a 2008 model bike by October 31st, which in the example above would be 21,000km

Clarify please. Thanks.

(and sorry if you already have this all spelled out somewhere else that I missed.)

Cheers.
