Forever! And I hope it works out that way. 
There are lots of things I still want to do with her and you know the MOCO will keep bringing out new stuff to bolt on.
When my riding days are done and I still have some spark in my skull I will probably give her to one of my Nephews. But THAT will be many, many years from now.

Have a 1988 GSX-R 1100 for 18 years now...I know its a Suzuki, but I'll never sell her. Also, the EG is an '03, so being part of the 100th anniversary crowd I'll most like keep that one forever as well.

Well the longest I've ever owned a bike was 3 years and my norm is 2 years (maybe why I've had 27 bikes in 38 years of riding). I'm on my second 1800 Goldwing now and really plan on keeping this one for awhile but who knows. The Wing may last 2-300,000 miles but when they go its pretty much over at that point. I have always felt that part of the beauty of a Harley was that you really can keep it forever. I mean you can rebuild/replace everything on it up and including the frame. Can't do that with anything else. Well maybe you could but the cost involved would not make it worth it.

I have a feeling I'll be keeping my '03 Ultra Classic for a long time. Being a disabled veteran it takes me many years of saving to buy anything significant. After 29 years of experience ridding Honda Goldwings, my last Goldwing, a 1994 GL1500 SE had 211,000 miles on it.
My house is paid for but my limited income keeps me from doing very much. The cost of fuel, house and vehicle insurance etc;
Ever heard the expression, "I'm so poor I can't even pay attention".

I want to say forever, or a very long time. But who knows, I may end up renting an Ultra somewhere along the way and then I'd bet my bottom dollar that my wife would love it more than the Classic and say "let's get one"
