We bought a 2022 Road Glide Limited in April, she had 4200 miles on the odometer, clearly the previous Owner did not ride her as intended by the folks at HD.
We hit 10K (sorry no pics) heading to Lake George NY last weekend, had 10.5k yesterday when I got home from work. And I missed riding her for 6 weeks while she was being shipped back from Montana to our Island.

Ride 'em like you mean it.
It's amazing how many people get huge touring bikes and rarely touch them. It's like buying a $150k camper just to camp in your back yard. Not casting judgement on owning a motorcycle in general and I understand people have unforeseen circumstances. But if I could only ride a few thousand miles a year, I'd much rather have something lighter and nimbler than my Road Glide.
I hit 25K today on the way to the dealer for the 25K service. I bought the '22 Ultra Limited new in Feb '23 with 11 miles on it. I know lots of guys ride way more than I can, but I love riding this bike and I ride whenever I can. Forgot to take a pic when I dropped it off.
For those of you committed to rollin' the miles on your H-D's odometer like a slot machine, this thread gives you a chance to celebrate those significant milestones with everyone here on HDForums!
There's no real "official" criteria, only that you put miles on your Harley and when it hits what you feel is a significant milestone, you come back here and let us know about it. I'll start.
My '06 RKC just clocked over 50K today while the BIL and I were riding. I haven't put all the miles on the bike because I purchased it last September with only 37,000 miles on the odometer then! So, I think I'm well on my way to racking up a few more milestones.
Congratulations I know that's a nice round number, but...
Wouldn't 50,000 miles on a 19 year old motorcycle be considered a garage queen?
It's never been ridden.
You're going to get some responses with some real milage.

I noticed that too looking at used Electra Glides, all very low milage. 15 or 20 year old bikes with 20 or 30 thousand miles on them- some under 5,000 miles!
I was looking at used trikes at my local dealership - all crazy low miles. The salesman told me most all are that way by the time you get to a trike you're not riding much anyway usually older maybe a physical infirmity.
Great deals on under 5-year-old motorcycles with 5 or 10,000 miles on them.
I don't see buying a new motorcycle with the crazy low mileage on some nice used bikes.
