Title: what's in a number?
Post by: soothsayer on April 14, 2025, 06:46:03

Pulled up to get some supplies at our local supermarket, glanced down and the odo was showing 10k. Hadn't even noticed it was soo close. It's not very important or anything but thought I would share.
Anyone else a bit childish about hitting the digits like this or is it just me?

Nothing childish about a milestone.
Congratulations and a happy 10k to you and your Strom  :dance:

I like noticing how I haven't had any big bills since the last significant set of numbers certainly :
Happy stromming, that's a low miles example of the best generation you have there ;)

Well I like the childish side of things. I rarely see those 10's of thousands pass but I do try to see all the same numbers come up...next one 55,555!  :grin:

I'm looking forward to seeing 78.
Because it means I will have had another year in the saddle. :dl_bike:

Pulled over to the hard shoulder of the M74 to photo 30K on my Trophy…  :grin:

Tried to do a similar thing at 40K on an A road… only for the last digit to tick over as I pulled into the lay-by  :angry-banghead:

Not sure if it was this one or the 50,000 one I posted on here a few years ago.  :)

Ooh, can see why some of you go for the newer stroms. You get an extra digit on the odo to play with!

I suspect the older bikes add it when you need it.
With my increasing dislike of modern vehicles, I might find out :)

* I think this person has the high score, although it's probably in km ;)
