So now the end is near
And so I face the
final curtain
I've
lived a life that's full
And more much more than this
I did it my way.
(Paul Anka - 1969)
Not so much of the final curtain, but the end of the 2022 Kilometerfresser competition. As far as I know the odometer photos I sent will also be the start of the 2022/23 competiton.
After a cock-up with the June mileages that saw me shoot up the table from 108th to 3rd, I think I am more likely to have returned to around the 100th mark. If that high!
What was the cock-up? I have always sent in the V-Strom odometer photo with the clocks on the bike set to kilometres. But the GT750 is old school and so I take a photo and then multiply the reading by 1.6!
It seems the spreadsheet at their end does that automatically, so when someone entered the kms it multiplied by another 1.6 times! Suddenly I was flying up the table. I didn't screenshot it. Checking now shows that they have yet to enter the new correct readings for everyone and mine will be reduced.
It shows that somehow I did 45929 kilometres in June!
I have taken the end of July and end of competition photos of the odometers in miles and have said that the reading was MILES and not kilometres....
