That my trip odo only has 5 digits.

One year ago today, we left on a ~4600 mile !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . When we got back, I decided to let trip B ride, and check back one year later to see how many miles I covered since then.

Instead of 10,341 miles, all I have to show is the number above. :(

Fancy! My car’s trip odometer is only 4 digits (000.0). There’s a second one in the trip computer, not sure how high that one goes.

Same here! Though, I’ve only had it roll back to 0 once so far.

I had no idea it was only five. 9999.9? c’mon! the main odo carries 6 characters

Lol...I've never ever been in a car with more than a five digit trip odo.

That little TRIP sign obviously takes up an extra character or two.

There’s room for it, which is why it surprised me.

I just noticed it’s a bike!

Yeah, I was bummed when I realized that on my Harley, too. Wanted to track my miles for the season.

Now I use Trip A to track fuel consumption and Trip B for oil change intervals.

I looked two weeks ago, and it was at 9,950, and was bummed when I cycled through the display yesterday morning. Must have gone through it 5-6 times looking for it.

I was hoping for a photos since I’ll never get this many miles in a 12 month period again. :(
