Catching Odometer Numbers while Riding

I passed 44,444 miles just a few days ago on Oct 27th.

all the above...plus when it reads the same forwards and backwards:rolleyes:
 
Here's a pic of my 1100 at 100,000 miles:

Sorry, I can't take credit for all the miles though. I get to put the 2nd 100K on...

Oh, I don't know, I think that there are a lot of numbers between 0 and 200,000 that are not significant enough to get your attention to watch them go by...:D

Unless of course yo're going to watch every number go by..but then you wouldn't have much time to enjoy the ride! :hat1:

I just posted a thread yesterday with a pic of 55555.

And a week ago I got into the car and the odo was at 123456.

Same here, I mentioned that to Mary and she gave me one of those 'so what?' looks.

I miss the days when it took a long time for the numbers to roll over. This digital age makes it tough to catch the sequences.

Missed an opportunity last weekend for 2800082. Saw it roll through but was in the middle of some nice twisties and wasn't stopping for piccies :D

Cheers,

I happened to catch this one this past summer. The totally unplanned part is the speedometer is about 1 mph fast at 60 so the speed was just about 66.6 mph. The odometer turned 00,000 at 100,000 miles.



I just missed 11111.11 a few hundred miles ago.

The main problem in catching odometer numbers is to avoid being distracted by traffic, texting and oogling young ladies on the roadside while keeping the camera deployed for photos of mileage. Sometimes it simply becomes too much to catch the number while weaving in and out of traffic and passing on the right in school zones and those great numbers are missed forever which is sad because these are lost forever to posterity.

Why do you think I have only been able to get pictures of a few (very few) exact numbers?...:D

But if traffic lets me, I will watch the numbers go by! :hat1:
 
Here you go Bob I have all the numbers here. This was on my Moonshine trip

I am hoping to do that to mine soon. I think I will have it by the end of May or maybe June. Who knows, maybe it will be on the way to Camp Stoc.

Very cool Mike. Well done.

Mike, now that is good :think1: planning! :clap2: :woo

Last couple of weeks, I missed 111111 but did see 111999, but no pictures. Little hard when you are riding through rush hour traffic to stop and take a picture! :rofl1:
