Been riding since '65 and have over 100k on a '67 FL I bought and rebuilt (and still have) in '80. Had three other bikes that I put lots of miles on also. Current ride is a '08 FXDC that only has 15k on the clock as of now. Taking a 5k ride on her in August back to Ohio, Iowa, and Minnesota.

I started street riding in '81 on a Yamaha 250. I bought my first Harley in '88. That was 22 years ago and people STILL treat me like the FNG!

I have over 260,000 miles under my belt, and nearly 200,000 of that is on Harleys. I have almost 157,000 miles on my current bike ('94 FLSTN).

Here in upstate NY, the riding season is maybe 7-8 months at the most, and I still ride about 8-10,000 miles/yr. Having no life helps a lot.

I've been riding some kind of motorcycle since 1949. Some of them had no speedometer or tach. Some of them dirt bikes. In 60 years of riding I'm probably in the several hundred thousand miles area. In Tennessee, you can pretty much ride some 12 months out of the year, but some days are kinda chilly.

Be '61 next b'day. Been ridin' since '64. First Harley in '71, a '62 FL Pan. Lived in Central Calif. until about 12 years ago. So miles are way off the chart. Lost track of mileage many moons ago. Will turn 61 next birthday.

477k miles (I'm **** and keep a spreadsheet on bikes, beginning mileage, mileage when sold). Been riding since 74 and that mileage is spread over 20 bikes. Had about 10 years of 30k per but most years are around 10k. Living in TX helps a bunch. I've ridden the entire US multiple times, Canada, and part of Mexico. Sadly the majority of miles are on BMWs and Hondas, I only have about 30k miles on Harleys. I know I will never make a million but I keep plugging away at it.
