I'm impressed. Won't live long enough to do that on mine. (butt just won't take it...do it while you're young)
You sure need to work on a few albums and maintenance details on 100K for us keypunchers....

In over 43 years of riding have had Honda's, Yamaha's, and Harley's. As a working stiff never put more than 10,000 miles on in a year. Never modified any of the motors and only had one major failure (new Honda motor locked up at less than 1,000 miles).
Retired and living in Florida now I am on pace to rack up well over 15,000 per year, and I am LOVING IT!
Good to hear my UC could last 10 more years!!!!

At the 15,000 mile mark, I put in a PCV, and (catless) header and 4.5" pro pipes from Fuel Moto. I change the engine oil and filter every 3,000 miles. The trans and primary oil get changed more often then the book calls for as well. The bike hasn't been perfectly free of issues, but nothing that wasn't fixable or kept me down for very long.
I'm just hitting 50,000 and debating on trading it in or keep going. I love my bike.... your post gives me confidence to keep going... Impressed

I got 92,500 on my 08 EGC, right after getting it I kept the stock head pipes and added Sampson slip-on cans, a K&N air filter, and did a stage 1 download, then at 30,000 I replaced the compensator and starter, plus I added SE 255 cams, a V&H V02 naked air intake and filter, and had it DYNO'd at the local H.D. dealer with a SESPT tuner, then at 50,000 I changed the fuel filter, and at 75,000 I checked and replaced the cam tensioner shoes, and replaced the fuel filter again, and it's still been doing great until last month when I went on a weekend road-trip and it seemed like it was starving for fuel going up any incline, and on the expressway it would struggle to go above 75 MPH, I would give it throttle but it wouldn't go any faster but it didn't sputter or cough either, and it seemed it would get a little hotter doing this because when I got off the expressway every time I stopped at a red light the rear cylinder would cut off till I took off again, anyway I made it back home and I still have not figured out what caused these issues yet, so I ain't been riding it much, might take it to an INDY next month.

Congrats to all you high mileage riders. I had 130K on my 2003 Goldwing when I traded it for my 2013 Ultra Classic. Picked up the new scoot in November 2013 and currently have just short of 35K on the ODO. Hope to reach the 100K mark before it's time for another new bike.
