I may be riding TOO much!
Today was the one year anniversary of my purchase of the '08 Road Glide. My odometer celebrated the day by turning over 22,000 miles. In one year!
At this rate, in another ten years I'm gonna need to trade bikes!

Pastor John,
Congrats on the aniversary! Can anyone really ride too much? Seriously?? No way!
Question for you. How many tires have you had, front and rear,in that 22K miles. I'll assume you take some trips here and there, and maybe you ride most days of the week. ?? I'm just curious compared to my mileage over a longer time.

Yachtman, I got about 15k miles from my rear tire and replaced the front at 20k. My daily commute to church is 76 miles roundtrip, mostly expressway, and I think that contributes to longer tire life since I am not accelerating or braking as much as the typical ride. Same goes for the brake pads - at 22k miles, they still have some life left in them.
Besides my daily commute (of which I probably average 3 or 4 days each week), I try to squeeze in a day trip or two during the weekend, about a dozen overnighters each year, and a few week-long trips of 1500 miles or so.
