Since I am retired I am over 28,000 so far and may hit 40. Half is from touring. But not on baggers. I did the ride to Vegas and Laughlin on a Sportster, the ride to Sturgis on a Street 750, a ride to Canada on a Buell and a ride to NHRS V-Twin Performance near Denver on the Buell.
I still have a ride to Texas and New Mexico planned but may take a Road Glide with gel seat and back rest. After all I'm 75.
You don't need to live in So Cal to get in a lot of miles. Just not having a job or obligations is the key. A few dollars helps also.

In the last 12 months I put 14100 miles on my cycle. It's my daily driver. If I ever have to go any where in the car it becomes a chore for me. Like yard work or any other job that I am thinking "I don't want to do this but it's got to be done".
On the other hand whenever I go anywhere on my cycle whether it's a short ride to the store or a long ride cross country, I let out a big sigh as if to say to myself "this is nice. Life is good".

I average 12,000 each year. I'm retired but have to work part time to pay for the wife's health insurance (thanks Obama). My FXSTS is my primary source of transportation; I'll take the wife's BMW Z3 if I need four wheels but it is really a pain getting in and out of it (I'm old and on the large size). Here in Alabama there really are only about 30 days when the weather is prohibitive - ice/snow/tornado. Otherwise I dress for it and go. Bought the Springer in mid-May and have 4,000 on it now.

I drive company car to work so no riding during week unless on vacation. Kids sports take a lot of my other time so don't have the free time would like but wouldn't change it now, they grow up too quick and need to relish while it's here. Will have plenty of riding time eventually.
