Holy Crap!
I realized this morning I have put 12,000 miles on my bike since May! Happened to be looking at the paperwork that I got when I purchased the bike and saw the mileage on it when I got it, and got curious and looked at my odometer. No wonder I cant get anything done around the house lol! To beat all, theres still a few more months of good riding weather to be had. Wonder how many miles I rack up by the time old man winter makes me park her for a while? Will I even park it? LOL!
That being said, any other bike I have owned never got more than a few thousand miles per season. The honda magna (yeah I know, go ahead but we all had to start somewhere right?) I had never hit 10,000 miles, and I had it for two years! My 74 Kawasaki Z-1 900 only got 2,000 miles on it since I got it, but that may be because its a collectible and I am afraid of tearing it up.
Ohh the addiction of a Harley! I know that most of you could care less, but I think its pretty neat how my riding mentality has changed since I got the Heritage. Its pretty funny how clean and shiny the Heritage is, and how thick the dust has gotten on the other bikes in my shop.

Sounds like fun, I only log about 3.5k mi a year. I am assuming you are not retired, you must ride a lot on the weekends again, sounds like fun.

I doubt that you actually put that many miles on your bike, CoolBreeze. I got a Heritage, too, and lately I figger it's been sneakin' out at night and goin' ridin' all by itself. The odo sez I got 2K on it since July 4th, and I KNOW that it hasn't all been me.
Of course, one time I did let Miz Roo take her around the block. Now all she can talk about is getting her own Heritage. "Roo," she harps, "when're you gonna get a second job and buy me my own Heritage?" "Roo, when are you gonna sell your Sportie and buy me a Heritage?" "Roo, when're you gonna give me that Heritage?"
Heritage, Heritage, Heritage...that's all the woman ever talks about any more. Saaaay, you don't suppose Miz Roo is sneakin' out on me at night, too, do ya?

You may be on to something there. My wife insisted a few months ago to teach her how to ride! I guess I need to resort to the old hair strand on the tire technique! As a matter of fact, I work so much, she has plenty of time to sneak it out when I'm not riding it to work. LOL!
