    55,555.5

    I am looking forward to 66,666.6 too.

    9.26am and I am on my way into work
    No the main beam's not on
    Tickover newly set to just over 1,000 rpm (was about 900)
    Trip meter must run slightly faster than odometer as I had tried to get it all sych'd, or I just cocked it up.

    I do this with all the number patterns that come along. Consecutive numbers, mirror'd patterns etc

    Bikes only coming upto 2345. But recently my car has done 123456 and it last 'pattern' was 127721.

    Maybe now I've discovered the bike world I'll get a life outside sitting in metal box

    Isn't 88,888.8 km almost exactly 55,555.5 miles?

    Spooky.

    55,232.94 to be most precise!

    so yeah, give or take, about the same. ('specially if you take into account all the times my speedo cable's fell out for a mile or two...
