Well I think I actually have those numbers Beat if you do the math.
My first ride was April 6th (1st Concord, NH Chapter ride) the last day was Dec 6th (8 months) I had 24,003. So if I had the opportunity to ride 12 months I would have gotten 36004.
Actually I put on 460 miles since last Saturday, we have our first official Chapter ride this Sun. April 5th, so that mileage will actually still be first 1st year mileage.
So I guess I actually didn't beat it, maybe I should start a different thread with a 8 month timeline.
Congrats though.

i just crossed the one year mark owning mine and logged 30,000 and some change in that first year. I am in Fl. but not retired. I work four ten hour days a week and have three days a week off. I have no children and a VERY understanding wife. My off days are spent riding as is every night after work. If I was retired I could really do some miles.

I live in Florida, I’m retired, my wife gives me a lot of leeway and I’ve been known to ride 50 miles one way to get breakfast. I started riding in 1964 (Triumph); my first HD was a 1976 AMF Sportster and I would have never believed that anyone would be able to ride a HD product this many miles with no serious problems. Indeed, it’s only been to the shop for routine service.
If I can manage to change a VA appointment I’ll be in Leesburg. Look for a short, bald guy on a white Street Glide with black true duals. I’ll be wearing a Widow’s Sons Patch and I should have another 1,200 miles on it by then.

SA315B I am envious. I've had my ultra the same amount time and have managed only 14774. This winter has really really sucked for weather in fact it snowed another inch this morning, nothing better than ice and snow in April
