Default Hello All

Hey guys Im not new to motorcycles by any means but I am new to Harleys! I have always ridden metrics until yesterday! I got creamed by a car a couple of months ago and I finally got that settled and got their insurance to pay my bike off! i wasnt at fault! Anyway I purchased a 2003 Fatboy anniversary edition yesterday and im loving it so far! I am curious as to how many miles i can expect it to last without major trouble. Of course it has been extremely well treated and serviced every 2500 miles and I will continue to do this
