Both of mine are turning into garage queens, not by choice though. It’s just that I don’t have the time to ride. I work 12-14
hours a day plus an hour drive each direction. On my days off, I have so much to do around the house it isn’t even funny. When I bought my Heritage in August of 05, I put almost 25K on it the first year. Even though there are a lot of bikes in West Texas, with all of the oilfield traffic, it isn’t biker friendly on the roads here.

 

An acquaintance of mine just bought a 2015 Street Glide with 140 miles on it. The crash bars have scratches on the right side so the guy I know who bought it figures the original owner dropped it probably in his driveway or a parking lot, got scared and never rode it again.

 

I wonder why a couple guys that I work with even have bikes. They never ride to work...ive got the longest commute so that excuse is no good lol. The one guys idea of a ride is go about 5 miles have lunch head home. I think he did 1200 miles all of last season. I just don't get it.

 

Guess I'm lucky to be retired and have lots and lots of time to ride...in between golf games, that is!

 

My friend is wealthy enough to buy whatever he wants. He has a pole building with a 1993 Cowglide and a 1981 FXDB Sturgis, sitting up in the loft since shortly after they were bought. Such a waste.

He had 2 Cow Glides but sold one.

He rides a 2000 or 2012 Ultra, or a ‘99 Standard.

 

I have. 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali diesel.

It has 34,000+/- miles on it.

Have traded 3 bikes since I bought it. One with 40,000, one with 113,000, and current has 39,000(all bought new)

My queen sits on 4 wheels.

 

I don't either. I work remotely and my bike can't make the 180 degree turn on the stairs to my upstairs office. Even without the stairs my wife might get bent out of shape.

 

Last year when I went on Oxygen {Agent Orange} I sold my 2014 Street Glide to someone younger person who
can ride and take care of if, I hope him and his Wife will enjoy it as much I did.

There has been a lot of Harley Davidsons on Craigslist lately, many with less miles then you would think.
I know at 73, I am done riding because my lungs are shot from my youth in Vietnam 50 years ago.
I though I would be riding into my early 80s, it will not happen now.

Sorry to hear it.

 

Seen a number of various motorcycles in people's garages in my subdivision that I never see out of the garage. I ride my Low Rider every chance I get. Cannot get enough. HDs are meant to be ridden.
