lets do this again. 1987 Honda shadow 125,000 miles (five years) 1992 Goldwing 175,000 miles (five years) 2005 Bonneville America 159,000 miles (five years) 2010 Harley Fatboy 84,000 miles (five years) The Harley had to be rebuilt after 55,000 miles. The last long ride I took was back in 96 Norfolk V.A. to Oklahoma. I do ride a lot back and forth to work. I love motorcycles and ride every day. Got a 2013 fiat abarth bought new in 2013 that has 15,000 miles on it. The Rocket bought in Oct. Has 14,500 miles on it (getting the Picture Here) Some folks are real slick talking or writing and have real nice comments but if you walk the walk that is a good thing but if you just talk the talk that is bull****. I at times like your comments but at times feel like that maybe your riding more on ego than facts.
