vtwinr Posted December 28, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2008 260,000 miles on a 99??? That's 32.8 times around the Earth at the equator! So much as to doubts about the bike's integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you got your info, but my info says the circumference of the earth is 24,902 miles that works out to a little over 10 trips around at the equator, still a lot of traveling.

Yammer Dan Posted December 28, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 28, 2008 Not with those 6 ply Kendras I hope!! How many on that thing and how is it holding up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROG MAN Posted December 28, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 28, 2008 Still running Kenda's on all three. Still like new. I might have 6-8 thousand on the 89. Don't get out much and hard to ride three at a time.Those kenda's are great tire for the money. About the same price as a D404. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Butler Posted December 28, 2008 Share #12 Posted December 28, 2008 Ok, I've only got 106,585 on my 2002 Midnight. And I figure I'll get another 100K out her before she get's retired. As much as we have gone through together, I'm just not getting ride of her. But I only had a total of 260K on my previous 6 Ventures. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N3FOL Posted December 28, 2008 Share #14 Posted December 28, 2008 260K miles is awesome! I really want to see my Venture hit 100K miles someday. Right now, I only have apx. 2000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted December 28, 2008 Share #15 Posted December 28, 2008 Tell me more about the Kendra tires. I'm a newbie as far as our Venture goes, had a lot of GoldWings but wife really likes the ride of our 2007 Venture. Back to the tire - info lease ?

JerryK Posted December 28, 2008 Share #17 Posted December 28, 2008 I had 86,000,when totaled, on my 2000 Venture that I bought 3 yrs earlier with 13,000 on it. After healing from crash I have 53,000 on Midnight Venture I bought in March of 2006 with 7200 miles on it. But I lost most of last summer when shoulder came apart from original crash.....shoulder broke 7-15-2007.....and I was off work 3 months and didn't get back in riding shape till 11-2007......killed my Ohio season mostly. I'll turn 61 tomorrow 12-29-08 and plan on retiring next December then put much more than the 25-30k per year I ride now. I know 2000 Venture would have went 200K and my Midnight is as good or better to hope for the same. JerryK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBJ Posted December 29, 2008 Share #22 Posted December 29, 2008 Wow alot of miles mighty impressive. And on the Kendra tires. i've been runnin them on my side car and the Kruz has proven itself to be one tough tire. So far the sidecar hasn't been able to eat its way through it. I may go to them whem the Dunlop on the rear of the 85 is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb In Texas Posted December 30, 2008 Share #23 Posted December 30, 2008 Bought my Venture on July 7 o8 and rolled 19,998 this morning on the way to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted December 30, 2008 Share #24 Posted December 30, 2008 Did you buy your bike used or brand new? Of the 19,998 miles, how many of those miles are actually yours? If they are all your miles, I rest my case for I will never break your record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted December 30, 2008 Share #25 Posted December 30, 2008 Bought my Venture on July 7 o8 and rolled 19,998 this morning on the way to work.
