    All 2's

    Photo opportunity

    I got the bike in February at about 19750.

    Yesterday it took an extra loop or two around the parking lot to get this shot:

    Very cool!

    I never seem to realize when the odo is rolling up to a neat number.
    I did however pull over to the side of the road and take a moment when my old 1981 Formula Firebird rolled 50,000.
    Then I left a nice set parallel grooves on the gravel shoulder for about 100', just to mark my "spot".

        That is just two cool! Your bike has more twos than a two two twain! Okay just shoot me NOW!

        I notice your speedo reads zero, not 75 like the guy in the truck snapping a picture of his breakfast a while back - very responsible!

          The row of 2s on the odometer is, frankly, only marginally cool.....the fact that the trip-meter also rolled 2s simultaneously, however, is .

            Well honestly you could just start zeroing your meter till hit hit twos, but his .10ths is just nudging past the one, such perfect timing rolling into the garage like that!

              There's a parking lot next to my house... I did a few laps around it just before parking.

                The "cherry on top" would have been to have the bike rolling at 22 mph.

                      Maybe a shot at 22 mph while riding two-up on route 22 and 10 pm (2200)...

                      VERY COOL, thanks for having the presence of mind to capture this moment

                        when I bought my 450, and rode it home, as I rolled into my driveway, the odometer rolled over to 11,000.
