From January 1st 2019 to January 1st 2020 I rode 22,786 miles. That is 62.43 miles per day. I was low on riding miles this year. I am usually a little over 24K miles every years.

I bought the Limited in January of 2017, so I have had it for about 1,110 days, so that's an average of 68 miles per day of ownership.

V-Rod mileage would bump that average up a bit.

Averaged 25 miles per day from Oct-2018 to Oct-2019 when the bike went into hibernation until Spring. Just over 9100 miles on my 2018 FLHCS in one year. Not bad for a 67 year old who took up riding at age 65 and lives up north. Lot's of guys beat that, but more probably don't.

I just saw this post resurrected and I have since retired in 2015, so I did some calculating from my date retired. I am now at 40.7 mile per day since retired. I have a lifetime of 235,795 miles on my bikes. My next oil change I will have ridden the distance to the moon. I just hope I can continue to ride to make from the moon back to Deep South Louisiana.

Should I have added in the 11,000 miles I have on my one year old Ultra. I only ride it occasionally on the weekends and for trips.

Like the OP, funny to see a resurrected thread that you posted in, I'm a little disappointed in my self. Still have the same bike and still ride to work as much as I can but have to take the company truck a lot these days to travel. The 08 only has 140,000 on it now. Of course I have had two different Limited's as well in that time.
