Congratulations, Eldon!

[BTW, Eldon has received the slightly-coveted 50,000-mile sticker.]

Congratulations!
With my annual mileage, I will have 50,000 miles accumulated in the year 2039.

You just need to come south for the winter then you would get in lots of miles going & coming as well as while you are gone!

I think Alaska would be a neat place, but for the winters with the cold nasty weather.

Eldon, great job. I think most guys don't know that you are an older rider that puts on serious miles on all of your bikes.

It was my great pleasure to meet Eldon at Spearfish. Congrats, Eldon - but I say that with the knowledge that the mere 50k on your NT is but a fraction of the many miles you have ridden over the years.

Eldon, i'm proud of you! You are a great example to the rest of us. You've had a few hurdles to overcome (your eyes, your foot), but you just keep trucking along. Wendell's

Thank you Doug and Wendell for the most kind words.

Wendell you are my hero ! You have set records for distance on the NT with only stock fuel capacity that are to be envied by all of the rest of us particularly in the LD side of the community. At the rate you are recovering I can see you being right up there in the 50, and 75 K miles , probably you will have the 75 K well ahead of me.

Eldon
