2017 Tri Lost wheel bearings.

[DK Custom Products]

I put over 50,000 on my 1990 FLH in the first year. Had to ride 75 miles each way to work plus two coast-coast trips. So it's not impossible. I've got 5000 local miles on my 17 and I bought it 6 mo.s ago.

A lot depends on if you ride year round, and if you use a cage for your primary transpo.

I typically ride 30k-40k every year...it is spread out over several bikes.

I rarely ride in a cage....if I gotta go somewhere, it is on a bike or trike.

WoW, guess it is possible if you live in a part of the country that you can ride year round. I could, I guess, but would have to figure out a way to install tire chains during the winter and buy some better heater gear. Was 14 this morning when I left for work.....

At the time I lived in VA. It's more a matter of time than place. They kept the roads clear most of the time and it was warmer. This year is colder/wetter than most. Right on the heated gear - couldn't have done without it or the 2-piece H-D suit. Don't sweat mileage - it's "smileage" that counts.

Oh, I have a lot of smileage... have put over 100K on 3 different bikes ( 1 of 'em 150K) plus various miles on other bikes in my 65+ years of riding. AND you know thinking about this thread had only had to put wheel bearing on a Pan and a Knuckle. That's before the company went to Chinese plastic bearing to save $.50.
