I like to see the reactions when some folks see the odometer on my RG. It has 155k+ now and already has 35k+ on the fatory eng. reman. It's good to see folks who actually ride em and don't just keep em in the garage.

Chances are if you have to brag on this forum how many miles you put on your bike in a year, you are NOT a tough guy. Chances are if your on this forum, you're not a tough guy. And if you put more than 10 or 12k miles per year on your bike, you have no other life. I like to ride, don't get me wrong, but my family is my priority number one. good luck to you who ride all those miles on your big bad harley, get a real life , please
do not judge me. do not speak for me. do not pretend to know me.
Apparently as few as possible because as far as I can tell, all the "tough guys" on this forum are the same ones who have to keep their bike on a battery tender all the time just to keep enough charge to fire it up.

My wife and I both work close to 60 hours each week....Mon - Fri
with weekends off. She loves to ride as much as I do, maybe more.
When we get a chance to run away for a Sat or a Sun, we don't hesitate.
In 2 years and 2 months we have 31k on the odometer.....Our riding
season here in Maine is limited compared to a lot of other states.....
I do not use my bike for riding to or from work, these miles are strictly for
sightseeing / searching for a good smoked bbq.
Its not the amount of miles you put on your bike, its the amount of
enjoyment you get out of those miles that counts .......

That is an average of around 150 miles per day, every single day of the year. Hard to believe. Yes, it is possible, but hard to believe.
