I bought mine on October 18, 2017 and have put on a little over 6K after back surgery in February. I think I'm doing OK as I'm basically a fair weather rider and freely admit it. I give all the koodo's to Pothole914 he deserves for the impressive milage he has logged.
I've been accused of, lets just say "being less than honest" about the miles I have put on my 18 Heritage.
First let me say, there is no one that I need to impress (well, except maybe Lauren) on this board or in life. I ride every day, rain, shine, hot or cold. I've done this for many years. It's not a hobby, it's not a , "look at me, I'm cool because I'm riding a Harley", it's a passion that got a hold of me over 50 years ago.
Below is a pic of my odometer. I bought this bike October 20, 2017. It had 3 miles on it when I took possession.
Sorry for the rant but, I'm not particularly fond of being call a liar.
Very impressive, I will assume since you rode that much it spent very little time (if any) being repaired. Fuel, oil changes and maybe a set of tires?
Cheers!

No repairs to speak of. Did the Stage II at around 2,000 miles. Lots of gas, lots of oil changes. On my third rear tire, one had to be replaced after only about 1,000 miles due to picking up a huge screw. Still on the original front tire. It will be replaced when the rear is due again. I will add, I have pulled my camper probably 4,000 of those miles and my cargo trailer about 10,000 of those miles also.
Never had an issue, except for the rear tire on a trip to Tennessee.
Best bike I have ever owned and I've had a few. LOL

Glad you're enjoying your ride! Lot's to be impressed about on the M8 Softails.
I've ordered a few things from ya'll. Was thinking about a road trip to your shop for a look see and spend a dollar or two. Just cause your there.
Ya got room for a bike towed camper in your back yard. LOL
That would be cool! Come on! Yes, we have plenty of room, 2 acres behind the shop and plenty of room for your camper at the house...if you pass the sniff test. lol
Just send an email or call before coming out, make sure I am there. Out on the west coast right now, will be back next week.

Cool. It will be in the spring. Still dealing with that little ***** Michael. I have two buildings in Panama City that "had" almost 300 folks working in that now have no place to work. I'll have that wrapped up around the first of March then, I'm taking some time off and going for a ride. I think Missouri is pretty nice about March.
