Clock-over or Overclocking?

Milestone today: hit 100,000 km on my bike. I got it new in Feb '99, so that's, what, an average of about 990km per month, or 11880 per year. Not too shabby, for a bike that's not too shabby...







Plus track days, a bit of log distance touring, and it really has held together very well. What's gone wrong? A cracked frame at about 30,000(warranty replacement, I paid labour), busted plug caps, I'm on the second chain and sprockets (changed at 60000), Timing chain tensioner replaced at a service as recall, and a bunch of tyres and fuel. I can't even tel you what sort of mileage I get from a set of tyres these days. Time was I was pretty clued up on that stuff.



And for Mick Kov, and Gentle Annie (Napier to Taihape)...
