38 years of riding...over 10K miles a year average (at least), so 380,000 to 400,000. But many bikes (in the 70's) without a speedo and to be honest, never really tracked it.

13 years of riding. I used to ride an average of 125 per day for about 10 years. Now I don't ride quite as much. You do the math...

I'm with some of the other guys been on a motorcycle most of my life 35+ yrs,never counted or had a speedo on the earlier bikes. But the past 10-ish years I typically put around 25k per year, I'd have to say I'm close to the half million mark. In the old hardtail and spring hub days it was hard to get a lot of miles on your bike too much wrenching, and 300 miles was a brutal day....

Rode the metrics as a teen then gave up riding to raise a family. Back to two wheels and I have 40k in 6 years. Hoping to break 100k by 2015.

Around 435,000. Congrads to all that are riding lots of miles. Been riding Harley's since 93 and wish I had bought my uncle's 52 Pan, $175, when I was 16 but thought it was too big so first bike when I was 20 and have been on them for 45 years summer.

40+ years, and way over 250,000. Plenty still left in the tank. Not all on HD's, but all on my seat! Ride safe out there. It usually the other guy that kills ya.

Well over 100K on all of my street bikes combined. I guess probably even more off road, but hard estimate that.

On Harley's I have 120k, another 5k and I get my patch. I've only been riding Harleys for 10 years, but have had many other makes in my 38 years of riding, 2 Triumph's, 2Hondas,2 Kawasaki, 1 Yamaha, 4 Harley's, but none compare to the brotherhood, torque & sound of a Harley.
