Default My M8 miles

reached 150,000 mile'stone' on my 4 M8 Harleys over the last 9 1/2 years, when I registered for Harley Ride 365 program. Brings my 20 year, 10 Harleys total miles to 225,000. first 10 years I did more runnin' around, bar hopping and not much touring so only half as many miles ridden as these last 10 years with a lot more touring as I got older, and wiser and safer too I guess. There are wild riders, old riders and drinking riders, but no old, wild drinking riders or something like that

Congratulations!

Glad you survived your bar hopping days, that's some high-risk activity.

yeah, after I stopped riding and racing dirt bikes a few old friends I used to do that with got into Harleys and talked me into them..we would ride them pretty hard and frequent biker bar hangouts, bike nights, bike shows, events, rallys and such..had good times but glad to have made the transition away from a lot of that and hitting the open road has been really enjoyable.
