From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
Only having 5 good months of riding each yr for this ole Grandpa and Grandma we still average 9-10 k a yr and that is mostly daily riding.
Wished winter's up here were shorter, Buttt..
2nd summer we had the bike, I lost my Brother and Mother, didn't ride much that summer settling the estate.
Still our 07 has 37k on her and only thing/problem I've had to do was replace the gas line that got the pinhole in it last Yr and this spring I had to put in a new Battery.
Other than those two, she's been perfect and seems to be running better every Yr.

Wouldn't think of owning anything newer than an '02.

Back in the day when you could just look at the odometer on a parked bike, I spent some time at Americade checking bikes to see which had the high mileage.
Tour Glides seemed to have the most.
After them, FXR's seemed to be "up there", as well.
Here and there I'd see another Harley with some miles, but the above two were the ones to beat in their day...
