Congrats on your high mileage machine and all the riding you have done.

Let's see at ~ 4000Km per year I would have to ride for ten years to get to that mark - hope the VL can hold up like that!

Bob, that is really something. I think it goes hand in hand with the saying, "Not that you would but..... if you wanted to, you could."

Possibly you are up for another Guinness Record too - Most miles ridden on one sled, ever. Hey, I say if there isn't a category, make one. I know you've got the documentation to prove it!

How has the rest of the sled been holding up..i could see everything else lasting way less than the motor. It would be very neat to have a leak down test done on that motor...as 4 strokes rarley lose much compression till they blow up.
