Not me. Thats rollin along. In April 08 I saw an '07 Ultra in fayetteville, NC at a used bike shop that had 53K and some change on it. Looked completely stock except for a larger aftermarket passenger back rest. Made me think somebody did a lot of 2-up riding. The best part? They actually wanted $19K for the bike .

I've averaged 30,000 a year the last several years. But I don't think I got over 31k that I can think of - congrats! Good to see you're getting out on the road and racking up the miles!

Did over 10,000 in a little over a month touring round the country on my 69 XLCH when got out of the Navy in 1973 .. but as far as 31,000 in one year not even sure did it on the XLCH in one year although had over 70,000 on it when sold it ... 31,000 in one year is definitely doing some riding .. I average about 20K between both my Bikes

I thought I was doing good to hit 15000 in one year on a bike. I'm impressed, especially if you're putting a lot of those miles on with local rides.

Some of the Iron Butt guys will put that kind of miles on with no problem. I've been on a couple local rides with a local fellow who did the Four Corners and two 50cc in a year. For those not familiar with the Iron Butt, the Four Corners takes you to the 4 corners of the continental US (San Diego, Key West, Maine, and Seattle area) while a 50cc means a cross country in less than 50 hours.

Anyway, go put some more miles on that bike and have some fun.

I average 7000 miles on my truck and about 3000 on my bike. So about every 3 years I'll get about 30,000 miles on my truck and bike combined!
I would need more than just retired to be gone on the bike that long.
Congrats. on the miles, just ride, brother.
