Good ole' PhilB!  Never met him in person, but he is quite a legend.

Meh......

That is only 200,000 more than I have and he has had his bike about 16 years longer. If he doesn't ride today I'll be 10's of miles closer to him. Saddle up "Phil" I am coming......

Seriously, that is very impressive!

This is one of the examples I point out when people ask if Ducatis are reliable. [thumbsup]

Amazing.

Mine after 10 years of ownership (2004 620M - 57K miles) is running like shit now.  Considering having her engine rebuilt.
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

Geez, I think I can remember when it turned 200k. . .

I tip my hat to this bloke!
anyone know him?

Yes.  I've met him twice.  One of the nicest people...  I'm sure Ducati will do something for him when (if) he hits 500K or some other insane milestone.  I remember him saying his daughter was trying to 'help' and dropped some sort of bolt or washer into 1 of the mufflers.  It's still in there...  [thumbsup]

388,000 kms! [thumbsup]. Sounds even better.
Ducati should do something for him at 500,000 kms being a metric company an all.

 [thumbsup] I think of Phil every time I see a clean late 90s or early 2000s Monster show up on craigslist and I toy with the idea of buying it.

I met him once overheated on RT3 around Chelmsford, MA. Stopped to see if he needed a hand.
