Nah, not really, I ride a bit more than most guys,but some ride a lot more.
There's a guy over at Delphi Forums "Electraglide Garage" that has 151,000 miles on an '03 Ultra.

 

Are you Y2K over there (Delphi) as well?

 

Yup and Cruisebikes.net,V2-forums and XLforums too[8D]

Don't forget about the Olympic Penninsula or the San Juan islands. I'm not sure about other parts of the country, but the Washington State Ferry system allows bikes to go to the front of the boarding lines, load first, and that means leave first ahead of the pack of RVs, trailers and cars as well. Most of all, it means NO WAITING IN LINES, and has made the difference between going or not for me. Literally, you can save .5-3 hours each way at any dock. If the boat you are trying to catch is still unloading its outbound vehicles, you are on that boat my friend!

Another benefit is that as all the riders are on the front of the boat together, it tends to make for checking out each other's rides, talking, asking where they are going, etc. Metric, Harleys, they all talk about their rides and trips. I've met some amazing people on a ferry. Given the ferry trips are anywhere from half an hour to an hour and a half, this really breaks up a trip nicely, and saves you a bunch of time travelling through heavy and dangerous traffic in the metro cities.

Look into Seattle-Bremerton, Edmonds-Kingston, Mukiltio-Clinton, or Anacortes to any or all the San Juans or Victoria, BC.

Middle priced ($160) Harley rain gear with reflective logo on the back for me! Hate to put it on, but it works well for extended riding, and it won't fall apart or burn unless you're careless. You will need it, or be glad you had it with you, so you don't chicken out on a ride just because it was a little cool and grey topside. Not only helps stay dri(er), but breaks wind and traps heat well when it's below 60. Weather reporters here can't get it right no matter how hard they try. Way too many days they predict rain that just doesn't happen, or it is so light or patchy it shouldn't stop you.

Ride safe and enjoy the western side. Green is beautiful.

 

Thanks for the link to the V2 forum, I just checked out all the pic's you posted, looks like I have some places to learn about! would love some loop informationfor some Wa to Or and back runs, e-mail works fine or posting too

I'd be happy to route you some loops for any lenght ride you'd like.
Let me know how much time you have to burn and how many hours a day you want to ride and I can suggest lots of different routes.
Very few roads in Oregon I haven't been down on a bike,pretty much covered the whole state including all the backroads and even many of the dirt ones lol.Not too many places in Washington I haven't been either.Same goes for Idaho
I've also covered the lions share of California North of LA and most of Montana ,Wyoming,Neveda and Utah as well.
I've ridden in 20 different states so far and covered quite a bit if ground in some of the ones not listed yet like Colorado and Arizona.
The only down side to all the places I've ridden to is that it's getting hard to take a ride and see some new country lol.
I need more vacation time heh heh.

thanks for the info -- sounds like a good way to ck out areas outside of the city -- i did pick up the HD rain gear, so far haven't used it, but I'm glad I have it.
