Since September of 2018, I've ridden about 4000 miles, mostly back and forth to work which is only a 20-mile round trip.
Edit: I started riding in the beginning of September 2018.

(Seriously, you can not assume the location given now means much about where someone has been for the last few decades.)
I lived in southern California for a long time. New Years Day was always good for a 300 mile ride.
Now in central Kansas, even in mid winter there are good days to ride. Being retired helps. I am riding 30,000 or so per year now.
Edit: I retired this year, and am trying real hard to get moved to a warmer climate. Maybe less wind.

At least 310,000, maybe a bit more
260,000 on my 2006 Sportster
40,000 on my 1996 Heritage
10,000 on my 2007 Sportster
Unknown on my 1974 Suzuki GT550 which was my first bike, never paid attention to the miles but never really left my local area on it

Like others, I dont have a clue. Only time I ever even think about mileage is in regards to maintenance schedule.

Lifetime miles? No idea. I've been riding street bikes for 37 years, and never tracked mileage, until I bought my first Harley, in 2015. Since 2015 I've put on over 128,000 Harley miles,
