When I bought "Big Red" last August, she had exactly 10,500 miles on the clock. Last night I stopped to take this pic:



I've always had this notion that a bike isn't truly "yours" until at least half the miles on it were put there by you.

She's mine now.

 

hadn't thought about it that way

I kinda think your right

good to see the ol girl doing ya well

I wonder where I fall in that as I bought a bike with 99k on the odometer but 0 on the motor.
It was a harley reman.

 

We talked about that. IMHO, is motor miles that count, so you've been there almost from the start.

 

Yeah I remember.
I was just throwing it out there for everyone else.

 

I better get riding, mine had almost 18K on it when I got it.

I think it's really yours when you have the guts to yank the bars off a few days before a major ride, convert it over an pull it off


just sayin

 

 

Day One!!!
till now

 

Mine had 72,222 when I bought it in 2013, I have 92,000 on it now. I think that I will just buy a new motor.....

 

Sept 2013...39,000miles, will probably roll over to 60,000 this week. I think since I've had the whole engine out in pieces and in my hands it might be mine. Must be a Nebraska thing.....although I didn't have any long rides planned right after reassembly.
