Who's got the most miles on a TW here?

I know it's not me lol
My old Rainbow Warrior (shame on me for selling it) had over 15K
And the one I'm gettin from Dad (1998) has 2,600 :)

Not me, I only have 50000 km.
It is now mostly used as a trail bike so it is not getting many miles on it each year, but they are hard miles. I have been averaging between 5 - 10 km per hour. I know I am exhausted by the end of a ride, but the poor TW still keeps purring.

When this thread has run its course, how about the most miles per day?

That's easy. Lzrdbreath and Ronnydog did a verified iron butt (1000 miles!). I think it took them a little over 20 hours.

Mine is a 2007. The base gasket was replaced. It has not been rebuilt.

I wish I could say that we have had as good luck with Mrs Trip's bikes.... but she keeps blowing the damn things up!

Give the Trips another year or 2.

On mine, over 42000 miles, end of 2016 was the first major work done on it. Base gasket leaked for years, just got to pouring rather than dripping. I was planning on a piston and rering job but the cylinder was in spec with no scoring or scratches. So, base gasket, valve job, exhaust valve was leaking carb overhaul, main circuit was dirty causing poor throttle response. Fork seals were leaking, New AGM battery, oil change. Over the years, tires, chains, front sprockets. I have an inline gas filter and used Kreem coat in the tank years ago.
