Passed the Magic 10.000 KM mark!

10000kmodometer
That’s 6.365,3 miles if you’re from the USA.

I finally passed the magic 10.000 KM mark this weekend while doing a 700KM drive to Oslo and back home. Wohoo!

To Illustrate how far 10.000KM really is, here’s a drawing I stole from an article about birds…

Nice to see things in perspective… :)

That’s right, it’s as far as from Alaska to New Zealand! So what’s the status of the bike? Still no breakdowns, nothing to worry about mechanically whatsoever  (except for the battery going flat over winter, but that was entirely my own fault as I “forgot” to hook it up to a charger).

My Kawasaki is still going strong! …and I’m looking forward to the next 10.000KM and the next and the next and so forth… :)

    Hi BikeNut!

    Yes, it’s true, I’ve passed 10.000KM without any breakdowns. I’ve talked to many Kawasaki owners and it seems like the Vulcans are very reliable.

    I like your blog by the way, I’ll add it to my blogroll, right here on BikerThomas.com :)
