was talking to a courier other week @ e14 & he had a Deuville Honda with 180k on it :incon_aargh[1]:

Yeah, that's par for the course. Typically about 50k miles a year I guess. I've only averaged about 35k miles a year but the last year in particular has been c**p. Trying out a new company tomorrow that seem to be alot busier and have better rates for distance work. Just hope the Tenere will last long enough until I have enough funds for a replacement (and to renovate my DR800).

Oops....sorry, waffling off topic again.

Did I mention that the most cost effective way of an increase in rear wheel torque is lower gearing?
