      Thanks guys!

      @neph93 those are the IR 8086… but since then I’ve got the Wesco Boss 7400s so those particular IR’s aren’t getting much time. Do love my 8111’s though for work on the farm

              Hey guys! New to the forum and IH (just got IHSH-62 and have 634S ordered) and figured my first post might as well be in the motorcycle thread. Here’s my Road King Classic. Cheers!

                Took part of the DGR 2018 ride this weekend raising funds for prostate cancer and mental health in men. Nearly 100 bikers in my city, which was a good show considering it was the first time we do it locally.

                I rode my Scrambler and paired it with my IHSH-91 (hickory striped workshirt with snaps) and Viberg country boots in waxed flesh. Very low quality pic so I had to tell you what I wore.

                It was fun! Consider joining it in your city next year!

                The journey is the objective.

                        ^ Excellent bike! Identical to my 2009 one, color too. Yours is liquid cooled I believe. I use mine around the city mostly, no long trips on it. Very enjoyable around town. Congrats!

                                Some pictures of a rare 1971 Norton Commando I finished restoring at the shop:

                                I took this bike down to the frame, got everything powdercoated and re-CAD plated, balanced the crank, rebuilt the motor gearbox, swingarm, forks, etc.

                                    I’m a huge fan of Nortons,and that has to be one of the best restorations I’ve ever seen. Would love to see a video with the bike running. Check out www.metroracing.com for some cool Norton t-shirts/jerseys.

                                      i know this is a question that'll probably get a lot of different answers and also depending on circumstances.

                                      but to you, personally, what would you classify as high mileage on a bike? in particularly, a R6 or something similiar?

                                        Could you give us some idea as to how old the bike is,and how hard it was ridden.

                                          'how hard it was ridden' - probably not.

                                          i know this question also depends a lot on factors such as number of owners, age of owner (how well they've treated it, riding or maintanence) and so on. as an example, if i'm looking at cars post 2010, my figure will lie somewhere between 150k kms to 170k kms to be considered as high. if it's a bmw, i'll try not to look past 100k kms..

                                          i'm looking at models (Yamaha R6 specifically) currently between 2006-2008/9. i'm just wondering what you guys may think or consider a high mileage bike without looking at other factors.

                                            When i've been window shopping for bikes on Auto Trader you generally see bikes like the R6 sitting around the 45K (Miles) and for a high-performance bike i'd say that was pretty high. My Suzuki GSX 600 F got to 400000 miles and it pretty much fell apart. Saying that the engine was still pretty decent… just everything else was an issue. I think that a Suzuki issue though.

                                            So yeah, I think anything over 45K (Miles) 72K (Kilometres) is pretty high for that type of bike. But then if it's been looked after then I don't see why it wouldn't serve you well.

                                            Someone feel free to tell me i'm talking shit.  🙂
