I can see for miles


Reading the BMW Owners News over lunch, I noted the 25th anniversary of the water-cooled K bike will be celebrated at the BMW MOA rally this month.
The author of the article claimed some expertise on K bikes with 80,000 K bike miles in his mirrors.
That started me wondering about my K bike mileage. Turns out that I have 200,412 K bike miles on my '91 K100RS, '03 K1200GT and Maria's '94 K75S. Add totals from my '81 R100RS and my '71 R50/5 and I have an estimated 310,412 BMW motorcycle miles.
But the same issue of the BMW Owners News puts my miles in perspective with a story on Mac McHugh, who has more than 1 million BMW miles.

I can't take credit for it. It's the cover of a BMW promo brochure for the '91 K100RS.
