Default dumb question about scheduled maintenance?

so I was going over my super glide recommended service and I notice it ends at 30,000 miles.

Does the maintenance schedule restart from the beginning?

They expect you to trade it in by then on a new one, Yeah, just keep changing the oil and servicing as normal, My indy does a 10K maintenance at the beginning of each season for $300 plus you buy the fluids (includes changing ALL fluids including fork oil)

My owner's manual for the 02 FXD shows periodic maint. out to 50,000 miles. If and when I hit that mark I'll just start it over.

what happens after that? I assume it just starts over but is that correct?
Your bike is pre-programmed to self-destruct @ 30,000 miles.
