I rode 2709 miles just last week. True story.

Seriously, some guy did that to me last week. I tell him how many total miles I have on his bike, and he goes "Well I did that on my 2011 that I just traded in." Good for you, may I offer you a Scooby Snack?

I have great roads right outside my front door. I can travel 50 miles and it'll take 2 hours to do. I don't have to ride hours and hours to find good roads.

I don't waste my time with that kind of nonsense. So, who won the long/short dick contest?

Part of the enjoyment of HD ownership is looking at it parked in your garage.
No need to put miles on it.
