First 1000 miles... Finally!

Thought I would share-
I was very excited that this weekend I finally reached the first 1000 miles on my 2004 S4R. Purchased it stock about a year ago with less than 300 miles on it. Gave her a service and then went about leisurely learning how to handle her. I mean, it is the Northwest and I am a fair weather rider.
Anyway, not exciting that I reached 1000 miles on I-5 northbound but it was cool that it ticked as I neared the exit to my hometown. I had to take a picture of the occasion! Cheese Ball, I know, but had to share because my parents and siblings don't exactly "get" why I ride. They don't need to, I'm having more fun without them!

I think my 05 S2R is almost broken in.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Happy riding to you! [moto]
30K comes up quick. The way this bike has treated me so far, I'm certain I will get over 100K out of it.
