Congrats.
A Kodak moment... pictures or it didn't happen....heheheheheh

COG card holders get a nice sticker when they send that in...



Set my trip meter so it would remind me, and had to ride around a few laps in a park to get it just right...

Now ya have to document the next cool odo meter reading....

Perhaps it's 123,456.7

Hard to tell without commas on the speedo.

Mine is calibrated in km so I can't compete.
65 CB160 (67-69), 69 350GTR (69-72), 72 R5, 73 RD350 (73-84), 82 XZ550 Vision (84-03), 01 Concours C10 (03-19), 89 EX250 (11-14), 00 SV650S (14-16), 03 SV650S (19-)

I let my COG membership lapse. oh well, I guess I won't get the sticker to go along with my 50k sticker.

Perhaps it's 123,456.7  Hard to tell without commas on the speedo.

It is a pretty absolute standard that if the last digit is a different color, then it is tenths of a mile (or kilometer).  Pretty much all modern vehicles (which obviously doesn't include the C10) now have a hundred-thousand-mile (or kilometer) digit... which is a testament to just how much more reliable vehicles are compared to the past.

The second photo was when I had 123,456.7 miles on it...
When I sold it I had about 138 k miles truthfully, I did snap a shot where it showed 34,567.8 but can't find it...
I also shot one at 666 which I always liked.... heheheh
