I changed my front tire with 31K on it, does that count? I'm the third owner of the bike, all service done at same dealer. Wish I could ride 31K plus a year....

My answer to the question is, no

And if in fact you did put such miles on in 1 year. You owe it to us to tell us how you did it. I calculate about 88 miles a day.

This thread is useless w/ out pic's

I apologize in advance for my doubt.
I live in Florida, I’m retired, my wife gives me a lot of leeway and I’ve been known to ride 50 miles one way to get breakfast. I started riding in 1964 (Triumph); my first HD was a 1976 AMF Sportster and I would have never believed that anyone would be able to ride a HD product this many miles with no serious problems. Indeed, it’s only been to the shop for routine service.

If I can manage to change a VA appointment I’ll be in Leesburg. Look for a short, bald guy on a white Street Glide with black true duals. I’ll be wearing a Widow’s Sons Patch and I should have another 1,200 miles on it by then.

Sorry no. I have a job, family and live in an area with actual seasons and see snow and ice on the ground in the winter.

No, sorry I can't compete with that mileage. Like most other people I have other responsibilities that prevent me from riding that much, even though I have been able to ride year round this year in TX. And if the next post asks us to pull out our d!ck$ to see whose is the biggest, im out on that too.

I guess we got our bikes on the same day, Mar 28th or so. Anywho, I managed to ride 27000 miles by last weekend and have another 500 now. By the way, I was at 20000 the 1st week of November (7 months), so I'd say i've been slacking over the last 5 months
