BIG up to you and your steamer Rybes, she's a credit to you and Hinkley.

Hope you achieve your 100,000 goal.

Yes,well done.I'll be more than happy if mine gets to that with no major probs. Mine's on 38k,and my Super3 on 46K. Not done much to the Tiger,only oil changes and carb work since the 8 mnths I've had it. Need to check shimms tho..for peace of mind. There is a strange 'scratching' sound from engine when I accelerate?

Then I guess Rocinante is a grown-up with about 160 Kkm om the clocks, which equals to 100 K miles. I say about because it ran a couple of years without a working speedometer.

Good luck with the next 40K miles.

In 94, one reason I bought a BMW rather than a Triumph was that the Triumph's odometer reset to 0 at 100k.  Seemed like a lack of confidence in the product.  Never understood why Hinckley chose to use tenths on both odometers.
