60k on 2010, not too shabby! I understand what you mean. I just got my Glide back in April. My goal was to put on 10k in a year. It kinda pails in comparison, but I dont get the oppurtunity to take those long trips...yet...I will soon. Right now its work commuttes & weekend rides & short 100-200 mile trips. Loving every mile of it though. I am on pace to hit my goal so who knows, maybe I can hit 12k.
Ride safe.

Just flipped 50k on my 09 riding to Bikefest in Vegas over the weekend. I feel like its just getting broken in. That's more miles than my wife and I put on both our cages combined over the same time frame. Congrats!

I earn diamond status every year with my work travel on Delta. 125,000+ miles on a plane isn't anything near as fun as 30,000 a year on a bike. I'm jealous that you get to put that many miles on your scoot. I have to fight to get 5,000 miles a year on my Ultra. Ugh!
Congrats to you!

Mines an '09 and I'm about 700 miles behind you. But I didn't ride at all for 2 winters due to an hand injury and building onto my house which created a muddy nightmare to get the bike out of the storage building. So factoring those ~10 months into the math, I'm averaging close to what you are a year.
And, since I'm up on this soapbox, I've only missed 32 days of riding since 1-1-2012. AND my string currently stands at only 1 day missed since May 17th for around 13,500 miles in that time frame!

Since 06 I have averaged 25-30k a year. Mostly long distance retirement milage and its great. The 06 had 70k when I traded in 09 which had 63k in 2011...The new bike just turned 21k after a year old...slowing down....Life is good!

Congrats to someone that actually rides. Now, keep on riding it because you won't be able to sell it or trade it. LOL Everyone liked my last Electra Glide until they found out it had over 76K on it. Foolishly, I did trade it and have regretted it ever since.

60,000 is great. You describe exactly as I feel trying to reach my goal of 100,000 on my 08 RKC. I can almost taste it. I'll hit 92,000 by the end of the week.
Ride on brother!
I feel sorry for people that are talking about the riding season being over. The weather is just now perfect in Texas. Not too hot. Not too cold. I get to ride year round.
