One man, one bike, one ton - great idea -

I've god a mate (one crazy mf) who would take first prize on this fred, hands down. Unfortunately he's not a WD so he won't be posting. He's got an original 1980 R100; done Africa (as in bumming around for over 10 years - relying on his people and trading skills) in and around most of the African countries - 6 times over the years; with a bit of Europe and Eastern block thrown in for good measure. He reckons over a million kms - and he's still holding onto the bike. He revamped it last year - it looks like it's ready for a few more rounds. He was offered a replacement (any new one of his choice for his battle scarred bike) in Bavaria by the Tech Director of BMW some years back - he turned it down

Congrats MellowJo, it is a super nice feeling when you clock over the 100 000 km mark.

2 January 2011 I reached the same mile stone while on the return leg of a 14 day trip. Well the odometer finally registered 100 000 km even thou I was way over the mark already. ( problems with the speedo cable for about a year) By my reconning my bike has over 130 000kms to date.

Nice one MellowJo, can still remembers our chats back then, took you a while to find the right bike?

I did 36k on my KLR and done 60k on my GSA thus far. Own other bikes way back, but only count d/s kms. So i'm due for 100k kms on d/s bikes soon, but have to wait another 40k kms to do it on the BM

Well done.

That bike of yours is a very good testament for KTM all round.
Shows you what a bike can do with proper care and maintenance, even though it isn't in for a Sunday school picnic life under your hands.

Well done! I've done about 60k km in the last year and a half but that's on 3 diffirent bikes. Hoping to take my 800 GS to a century
