There are a ton of Harley's out there with over 100K on the speedo. Probably more than any other make sold in the USA. Those tractor motors may not be fast, but they run forever.



Maybe that's been my problem....I ride them fast and often and in all weathers and seasons.
Maybe Im just plain unlucky too, but I speak as I find.
I've owned many many HD's and not one of them has made it to 30k despite meticulous maintenance......I've had three , yes three failed big twin gearboxes for example.....and even my old Evo had the oil pump,er, ' fall off' mid flight.
My latest was a switchback bought almost new...made it to 15k before the infamous vibrations started.....OK I cured that but I shouldn't have had to do so...and the factory manual torque settings for the silencer were wrong...just plain wrong.
For the sort of money there's asking I don't think these things are acceptable


I took the Road Less Travelled. Now where the ****** am I?
