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.
^^^ This.
Neighbor has 2 Harleys, an Ultraglide and a Road King. Prolly $50K into each with all the shiny accessories.
Ultraglide used 1 weekend per year, Road King less than (easy to tell when he fires them up, rattles the windows with the Screamin' Eagle exhausts). Lots of time spent cleaning them though. The bikes sit on Harley-branded rubber mats, not the concrete floor (god forbid). His garage is outfitted as a man cave, complete with couch facing the bikes so he can sit and stare at the bikes while having a beer.
Beautiful bikes really, but I find it strange. To each his own I guess.
