I still have an old custom speedometer from a chopped rigid frame panhead on my mantle. It reads 46,000 miles. I figure that's about the equivalent of 150,000 on a rubber mounted six apeed with a windshield. In 50 years of riding i have no clue of total miles. I have 3 bikes outside now with 80,000 60,000 and 25,000, oldest one is 2005.

I have no clue how many miles I rode, before we had kids, and I then got off of 2 wheels. But, when I got back on in 2012, I put 47,000 on my TriGlide, then 12,000 on my 17 RoadKing, and now 18,000 on my 17 Ultra. So, in 7.5 years that I can count: 77,000 miles.
61, started riding on the street at 16. Before that dirt, no idea on how many miles in the dirt...or get-offs either.lol
Best guesstimate on the street is close to 600,000, maybe more. I've not owned a cage for over 15 years, and currently ride between 25k & 40K per year. Lots of commuting miles, and some big trips each year.

I'm one of those who "keeps track", so these are pretty accurate numbers.
ALL bikes since the first: 425,000.
Current bike..."The Moonraker"...1985 HD FXRS: 297,000 and counting.

50 years riding. Don't remember how many bikes. I figure maybe 4-500,000. Current bike (2001) has 200,000 on it (bought new) so I may be under estimating. Lots more to go.

No flippin idea. Been riding since 68, both dirt and street. I've only got about 6,500 on this year but the weather sucked, especially early season. I usually run around 10,000 a year and haven't played in the dirt for years.
