Mine's a daily commuter when I can. Just passed the 1K mark since purchase just before Thanksgiving '10. I'll be making a several all-day rides in the next few months in preparation for a ride to the "Dragontail" to meet up with my boy and some of his buddies in late June.

Average around 15-18k a year. Hoping for more this year, now that I am no longer in the service.

Do about 3500 a year, almost all is short afternoon rides. A couple of 500-600 mile round trips a year. Not much by a lot of standards but works well for me.

I do 10-12,000 miles per year...not bad since I live in the northeast and there a long winter here. There's a husband & wife member of my HOG chapter (both riding FLHX's) who ride >20-25,000 per year up here. They did almost 27,000 miles in 2010!!

Traded up to a Ultra Classic in August 2010 and had 4000 on it when I put her away in Oct. Wish the weather in Northern Illinois would cooperate. Need to get out and ride. Looking to run down to the smokes this summer.
