My 08 Wide Glide just passed 15K. I've had it for less than 7 months.

They are made to be ridden, not parked as show pieces.

&nbsp\\;
So you have ridden 19k miles in the last two years two months.&nbsp\\; Not bad.&nbsp\\; I have ridden 17k miles in the last two years one month.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I remember when you were trying to&nbsp\\;get to &nbsp\\;5k miles on your Deluxe at the 1 year mark. You really have increased your pace.

Guess I need to get my poor little baby out of the garage.&nbsp\\; The pace I'm going I'll probably hit 10,000 miles in about 75 years or so.&nbsp\\; Oh, wait, I don't think I'll live that long!
