I won a set of tires for riding the furthest.
Dealership I got my Road King from had a contest last spring whereas you register your mileage and the rider who accumulates the most during the riding season until Sept. 30th wins a pair of tires.
I got 22 to start with and ended up registering my final mileage a week ago and still won with 26141 km.
Free is good.

Congrats!
26,000 km's in a season is very respectable!

If I figured correctly, that's about 16 thousands miles, right? Hell, the way mine seem to wear, I'd have had to replace the front once and the rear twice in that amount of miles.
And I thought my 10k a year was a lot... I agree with EGS, that is quite respectable, OP. Congrats!

Very nice! Where did you go? I'm sure you didn't accumulate all these kms riding around Calgary

That's the way Canada thinks 1,000 meters is a mile. LOL

Cool, congrats.
Wish mine would do something like that. I'll have mine a year the 21st of October. Just went over 23K miles. On my third rear and second front tires.

You probably need new tires now, right?
So that many miles/kilometers was over how many months?

What dealer never mentioned was that it costs $600 to mount and balance them for you, but the rubber is free.
Congrats on the win and the miles.
