I'm 54 now, started riding street when I was 16.
Never really kept track of the miles, usually the bike was my only transportation - always my primary ride.
85K in 2-1/2 years on my current bike.

Been riding on the street now since 1988, and the first bike I owned I put over 88,000 miles on it. I was just thinking the other day about all of the bikes I have had and the milage I rode them, added it all up, and best guess was just at 200,000 but could be more.

I've been riding street and dirt for about 42 years and have owned nineteen bikes. I've put the most miles on BMWs, Harleys and Hondas - in that order. I haven't kept perfect records but I know I've got over 250K road miles behind me.

I've been riding for about 45 years. A rough guess for total miles covered would be somewhere around 750,000 miles total. Some years my bike was my only transportation. I've done several cross country trips, last one was a 12,000 mile four corner run. I've had Honda's, Kawasaki's. Triumphs, Nortons, BMW's, but for the last 25 years it's been all Harley. I have around 110,000 miles on my current bike, an '00 FLTRSEI.
Living in CA, I can ride year round.

About 37 years here. Had over 100,000 miles on my first bike, a 1972 XLCH. Had about 220,000 miles on the next bike, a 1978 FLH. Have about 140,000 on my current 1987 FLST Sloptail, and about 31,000 on my 2007 Nightster. Plus there were a few other bikes scattered in there that I rode while chopping/rebuilding the other bikes. All were Harleys, except for a bit on a 1967 Norton.

Yep, I've got a few more than 100,000 miles on Harley's under my belt.
I've owned and ridden Harley's since 1969 (never been without at least 1 in the stable during all those years), Never kept detail mileage records, but a low estimate would be at least 20,000 miles each year.
Not hard to rack up the miles as I've always been 'self employed' and very lucky with investments, so I'm pretty much free to ride as many miles as I want year around.
Never been tied down with a 'normal' 8 to 5, Monday through Friday type job where I was required to spend 40+ hours each week working for others..
