Holt Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 What’s the celebration protocol for achieving one thousand miles on your first wheel? It will more than likely happen on my next ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Blaster Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 My suggestion is a good bottle of Champagne ?? I just rolled over the 1k mile mark on both of my KS Wheels (18S & 16S) ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holt Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hit the thousand mile mark. Decided a short break in the Turks and Caicos was in order. Cheers from Providenciales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Lol - it’s hard to pass up 2 hours by air from Charlotte. The Caribbean is fantastic! I did see a hotel guard on a big two wheel euc. My better half said it looked homemade but I think it was a Segway. Wish I had snapped a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Blaster Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Have they recovered pretty well from last years huricanes?? They got hit pretty hard twice! I was down there on a live aboard last May making bubbles under water, glad I did that trip in May!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Williams Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hit 1k miles the other day after 3.5 months on my Tesla. Showed some other EUC riders, worked out how many miles I’ll do in a year on average and that was it. ✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Too bad the Wheellog app can't automatically log the BT identifier of the wheels, store an icon of them in a "garage", and then record miles/kilometres travelled along with vital statistics like top speed, average distance/speed, etc. Kinda like those racing games with the fancy cars. Need for Speed, etc. Is there any way to load up and view saved trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that does mean that calculating the combined mileage would be the result of "old maths," which I think gives different answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at ocean club west and it was in like new condition. Cabbie told us the locals are still haggling with insurance companies and everyone has a new roof (at least).

Aw come on, I recently had the realization I could use an "aboot" joke with you, even though that would have been a cheap jab (also I forgot aboot that again), but now you already said it yourself and that deflated it too much.

Holt Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Off topic but .... in case anyone wanted to know it is possible to jump start a 737. Apparently the little ‘third’ engine responsible for charging the battery system on our plane won’t spin up. That creates juice to start engines. Yep. Capt just told is they are gonna jump start one engine and then we will roll start the second going down the run way. Tune into cnn in about twenty minutes.

It will more than likely happen on my next ride! I think in most cases the proper outcome would be the award of a suitable medal. Heroic pilots of the First World War would earn the Blue Max so perhaps the Blue Marty would be appropriate? Or, if those daring men on one wheel could be seen as modern day Knights then something along the lines of “The Order of St John” could only possibly be “The Order of St Jason” in honour of our most active and supportive vendor @Jason McNeil. Or, come to think of it, perhaps simply “The Order of St @John Eucist! However this could only ever be awarded once as it is well known that: Once a King - always a King... but once a knight is enough! of course we would have to make a special case for @Hunka Hunka Burning Love, as he wouldn’t so much want just a medal but also a chest to pin it on ?.

I just added up all the mileage from my different wheels, past and present. 5460-miles over a period of 22-months I actually didn't think I had ridden that much. I know some guys burn through a lot more miles than that, but considering that I don't used the wheels for commuting, that's a decent number. I better slow down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
