Just curious, who has the most clicks on their bikes. We could start from bikes purchased in 2002 or whatever. So by giving the year on your bike we could see who are the ones who drive the most. Not that it matters. I have a 2003 with 6000 km. on it believe or not. I bought it last June with 0 km. so that is a fair bit of driving I guess.

Maybe we should ask who has a 2002 with the least amount of miles.
I don't think they would post though.

BikerT,
I've got an 05 TBA with 2700 miles on her. She was purchased in the beginning of Aug 05. Not many miles, but not too bad for having snowy winters where I couldn't ride. Looking forward to putting a whole bunch more on her this summer!

Its never enough mileage, but I hav just about 8000 miles on mine. I have had it for a year. I don't think that is bad for living in the Northwest.
Just looked at the weather online. Looks like I'll be able to ride to work all week, except for Tuesday because I have to haul computers upto Seattle.

Not me - just 21,500 miles.
Sept '03 America bought with 300 miles in Feb '04.
I have the Scrambler and a VW combi to play with too so that will probably not go up much this year.
Scrambler was new at March 4th and has probably near 2000 miles.

Started an 04 with 0 miles in Apr 04 (warranty just ended). Today it's 23k and change. First had an 03 from Apr 03 to Apr 04 that departed with less than 4k miles that we don't like to talk about.

Over 38,000 miles now on my June of 03 Speedmaster, but I was down for 4 months with a knee replacement, and another month and a half with a broken igniter and me being sick.
I have lots of free time to ride, and in a place where the weather doesn't get in the way.

I just saw two guys out in the hallway, comparing mileages on their his and her's model 2003 HD's, one has 1,600. It was almost embarrassing, I kept my mouth shut. I get no joy in the poser rant, I feel bad for all the miles & miles of Montana (not Texas!!) they're missing JH

On VTwinTV or Corbin's Ride On or American Thunder last night (they all blur together to me) they had a segment on Battery Tender. They said that the average Harley rider only puts 3000 miles a year on his/her bike. I think that's a little high, even taking into account that I know guys around here that put mid-teens on their bike every year. They're really throwing off the averages...

Now we are getting some higher numbers. Where is that Moe guy anyway? Is he modest or are you guys just being sarcastic.

one thing that i'am curious about and that to me doesn't add up, that is the service interval on these bikes (like most) is every 6000 miles or 12 months. OK so if you come to a dealer for a trade in, the average milage according to glasses guide is 3000 miles per year and anything more than that then the the dealer will deduct dollars/pounds off the price because it will be classed as a high milage mototcycle, we just cannot win.6000 miles per annum dealer service/ 3000 miles per annum dealer dollars/pounds doesn't add up to me. what do you think?

I do all my own service, and I'll never sell my bike.

Harley riders (is that a contradiction in terms?) and KawSuHonYam owners may care about resale because they are never satisfied with their rides. I don't give a damm what my SM is worth, I will keep it till I can ride no more.

I didn’t buy mine to sell it later on. I bought it to ride her, hence the 39K on the odometer. She sees very little downtime.
