You had a sailboat as well right?

Yep, four actually. An 11 1/2' Penquin, a Lone Star 13, a 16' Luger Leeward kit boat my dad built, and then a 17' plywood sharpie with a cat-ketch rig.

The biggest thing I've ever sailed on was a 22-footer.
 
Congrats Phil. (Again). The stickers look good. As of tonight I have 32,428 on mine. This week should be good for 200 commute miles then another 1,000 mile weekend (Friday to Monday). I ended up last year with a 52 mile per day average. Closing in on that now but I have been behind due to some family travel.
 
Congratulations, Phil! 50K looks good on you.:D

I've put a bit over 27K on mine. Don't expect I'll ever catch up with you.

Not after he's talking about being at 85 to 90,000 after the epic ride to Alaska! Wow.
 
A point of clarification on the 50,000 mile stickers: These attach to the motorcycle, not to the rider. So, if you bought an NT700V with 45,000 miles on the clock and put 5,000 more miles on, your bike would qualify for the 50K sticker.

I'm following the precedent that was set when I was a member of COG (the Concours Owners Group). It makes sense to me to recognize the reliability and durability of the motorycycle. Our NT-Owners.org Forum Mileage Awards recognize riders.
 
congratulations Phil,

I added 250 milessto mine today, getting close gto 22K , or maybe went over tha , didn't thinko look at ODO this evening.

I am going to respectfully disagree with stickers should follow the bike. Our mileage tracker is only a yearly thing, resets every Jan 1. So without the rider the bike will sit and yell out " ride me , ride me". If the mileage stickers follow the rider, its easy to see that the NT did the miles with the rider or even 2 bikes combined, that the rider recorded any "used miles" and would deduct them. When I had my 2 PC800, they had a rider high mileage list, which I am on @ the 200,000 miles category. If an NT is sold and that new rider would join this NT forum, maybe he would also want to add his bike and get credit for others mileage plus what he put on. Just a thought............I think Mellow already approved the "sticker following the bike" format, but I think Mellow and Phil should rethink...............should we appoint a judge????:eek::eek1::smile:
 
Good try, Woodaddict. But I spent the big bucks ($22.50) to buy the first 52 50,000-mile stickers, so I get to make the rules for the stickers. We've got the mileage tracker for riders on NTs (even though it does reset annually. But unless you want to buy your own 50K-NT-Rider-Sticker, you're stuck with my rules. :)

2nd try!!!!! Well, I looked at the stickers to refresh my memory. Wha-laa, they are generic pertaining to rider or bike specific miles. So that makes an easy switch to rider miles per sticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You can certainly apply the designation to yourself or to the bike. I won't mind. In my case, no one but me has ridden the bike -- well, on 2nd thought, I guess the owner of Sun Enterprises, the Honda dealer where I bought it put about 10 miles on it before I picked it up and the mechanic who works on it usually puts a couple of miles on at every service. But I'm well over 50,000 personal miles on the bike now anyway.
 
Hi to u all haven't been on the sight for a while i have done 102500km not shore what 50000miles is in km let me know if this is enough i now have a tie with you mob my daughter and son in law ,grandkids now live over there
 
jadorff if you convert your 102500km to miles you will end up with 63,690 miles
multiply by .62137 to go from km to miles
a close way and easier is 8/5 of the km will get close to correct miles
