Good effort! Still going strong? You ever had to do any engine work on it?

nice one LUMPY....bike and car engines are getting better all the time,can remember when i bought my first car many,many years ago,100,000 miles was unheard off and you stayed away from that sort of mileage....ive had a few since that have passed that milestone since without any major surgery.....my pick up is on about 97,000 and will get to the magic ton by the end of october all original and dos`nt use a drop of oil between changes.........funny,after all these years both 100,000 miles and 100mph still have bragging rights yet our machines are capable of so much more  .....the magic ton,ton up boys,....ah yes i remember it well............foc me .i do go on a bit  :lol

My e38 is above 140k, I've seen over 200 on speedo of bike and car I've been in control of. I remember, I personally did 185k in a carlton I had too. Ah memories

My old 1991 Mark II Golf GTi had 235,000 miles on it before it started playing up - ran really well, but the body work was atrociously full of rust There was a hole that was a good 6" in diameter in the rear of the car just under the boot lid - needless to say, when it rained, the car flooded...

well, I have no idea how the first engine was looked after before me but it let go spectacularly and without warning. I am just rebuilding a pair of forks instead of just rlacing a weepy seal, the rear shock blew it's seal at 93k, other than chains, sprockets, oil, filter and pads with the regular tyre changes it's been marvellous for the nearly 5 years of ownersip. Rear caliper is now blue spot and I have spare front calipers but the ones on are original and only stripped and cleaned once. Discs have been changed twice, and recoated wheels fitted as the originals were scabby, they are now spares and may get knobblies fitted for the snow in case we get some

my nephew runs a 850t volvo ex police car, and that has just topped 303,000, hes had it from 108k...and never took a spanner to it!!...only thing he does do regular is change oil, every 3k....mobil 1.....
