Worldwide High Mileage Rocket III 50K & 100K Club Listing

Oops. My mistake. I meant to say 2013. Also, I don't think my bike should really count because as stated, the speedo works intermittently and so I'm going by history on the miles. Approximate mileage doesn't count.
On a different note my 05 looks like hell right now. When I got the 08 it was red. I prefer black so I took all the black parts of the 05 and swapped them with the 08. Unfortunately I hit a deer last April with the 08 and found that sliding a bike down the asphalt is bad for the paint. Doesn't do the radiator much good either. So of course now I switched the colors back and bought a racing radiator for the 05. The 08 has a salvage title and looks great! The 05 has a good title but looks like somebody slid it down the asphalt for a couple hundred feet. I'm getting used to the red.

I see now that you're saying the Odometer is whacky too. Yes, same cable & sensor...

I'm going by the honor system and will enter whatever you feel confident & comfortable with*.

I would definitely keep both bikes on the list as the "Issues" section is of more importance than actual mileage as it indicates what might go wrong as the bikes ridden a lot. We all know that the Rockets have gotten a bad rap over the years and the data should should hopefully disprove it or highlight the major failure points.


* Unlike my golfing buddy who takes 4-5 mulligans per round and then brags about his score in the bar when its really off by 8-10 strokes.
 
Count me in! 05 with 210,000 and still running well, however, the bevel box looses it's oil. ,,,

Also, do you know if the recall was done to your 2005:


Mine was done before I picked it up.
