Thanks everybody. It's not a 1947. That's just the miles for the trip. It's an Evo Electra-Glide, and still lifts the front end in three gears (it's not stock). I don't recommend doing that much, because it's on it's third belt.

I was still about 100 miles from home. Would have done it sooner, but I was off the bike with a shattered leg in 2014, and split my time between three bikes. My Shovel has about 264,000, but the speedo died 15 years ago, so it has an aftermarket Police Special one on it now, and you have to do the math to figure out the actual mileage.

Ok, so go out and do it again. This time, take the 100K, subtract the year of your bike and reset the trip' when you get to 900-and-whatever K you need to get your bike year in the trip-o, when you turn 0 on the odom. You'll have to be really good with the math, because that last trip-o digit can be tricky (it's pretty easy if you're smarter than the average bear).

Well, it's still a cool pic anyway, catching it in pic, at zero. Nice job.

Now your bike has no resale value. Everyone knows that anything over 20k on the speedo, makes a Harley just about worthless.,,,,
