Took a few multi-day trips on the RT but all in all, I'm riding less than I used to. Much of this is probably related to the fact that my riding partner is no longer riding her own bike, so many of my rides are simply solo 4-5 hour breakfast rides on familiar roads, instead of the longer adventures we used to enjoy together on our own bikes.

The average rider in the U.S. only rides 3000 miles per year, which means the 'Wing is about 16,000 miles shy of average. Also, lots of folks have more than one bike, so not every bike tends to accumulate a lot of miles. Not sure what this guy's situation is.

Maybe I will inquire next time I'm in there.

The record I think was a bike the same dealer bought back from a customer that had owned the bike for 4 years and put 40 (forty) miles on it. That one knocked my socks off. I usually put 100 on one getting it home after picking it up the first day.
