I would have been close to 60,000 miles at the end of the season but we have not ridden the last three months because of Debbie's foot surgery.
We're hoping she can soon wear a motorcycle boot soon so we can go to Arkansas mid October.
I have a little over 56,000 and Debbie a little over 53,000.

I hit 400,000 BMW miles late spring early summer.

Darrel from Minnesota and Mark from California are way ahead of me with well over 100,000 miles.

Cool! Congrats to Debbie and you!

Yes very cool! Around 2005, I met Lyle Grimes at Morton's BMW in Spotsylvania, VA. He'd clocked over a million BMW miles then. A real nice guy. This thread reminded me of him so I put Google to use and learned that he'd copped it on his bike in 2009. RIP.

I don't know if I ever met Lyle. I've known Paul and Voni Glaves for many years. Voni have over 1.1 million BMW miles and I think Paul is getting close to 900,000 miles.
That's a lot of tires :)

I tried linking to a YouTube video clip of Darth Vader saying, "Impressive, most impressive" but was told by a forum error message that "New members have to wait 9999983 before posting external links". So instead what would have been my original impressive reply you get this.
