As 2AMGuy mentioned, I don't ride'em like I stole'em either.... but when I was younger, and now on occasion, I would qualify as a "spirited rider"...
You are the perfect example of who to buy a Harley creampuff from. It's a shame for me your on the west coast lol.

Just traded in my '05 FLHT with just a tad over 92,000 miles. Religiously maintained it myself following the service schedule (service manual is the first item I buy from the P&A counter for each bike I've owned). Owner of my dealership rode it before quoting trade in value due to the miles, also had a tech go over it in the service bay. Gave me a great deal (above book value).
Took my new 2017 FLHTCU in for 1st service (yeah, letting them do this one) 4 days later and dealer told me that they sold both bikes I traded in ('05 FLHT and '08 XL883) that day. Funny thing is, I still see used bikes on the floor with far less miles that've been sitting there for close to a year now.
The TC was a really great engine. I'm sure mine would've seen 150k before any overhaul would've been necessary. I would've kept it, but it was the little things that got tiresome for me (and the wife). Things like laying on the side of the interstate in Chicago using hose clamps to reattach the shift linkage get old after a while.

Buddy of mine that works at the local dealer told me there is a guy that comes in every now and then that has an Evo With over 500,000 miles on it. Said he's sent the motor in twice for reman program.
