What's Your Odometer Reading?

The top end was rebuilt at 98,000 miles under the extended warranty. The rear brake pads only get about 20,000 miles but overall I have not had any other problems.
I got the extended warranty that expires in 2020.
Keep it serviced and it should last a long time.
Wait, so total of 9 years on extended warranty on a 2011 TG? Wish I could have gotten that. My 2010 TG goes off extended end of this June. 110k currently on it. Engine rebuild at 85k. Too many other issues to want to dredge up. Backup 2004 FLH 2-wheeler has 123k. All original. Now that one was built well.

The extended warranty was only 7 years added at the end of the 2 year warranty from Harley when I purchased the Trike.

Now I'm curious. Is it just my dealer who only offered crap 5 years at best extended on top of 2 years factory warranty or did a lot of dealers around US?
 
Yesterday, I took a nice long back country ride through the less traveled roads of Central Florida. Along the way, I realized my machine was about to pass (2) consecutive odometer milestones that can only happen once.

So I stopped the trike off to the side of the road and snapped the following odometer reading pictures:

This photo is the "Lucky Five Nines". Just as I was shooting this photo, a fellow two wheel biker stopped to ask if everything was ok. What a great feeling to know the heart and soul of the bike/trike community thrives and lives on.ThumbUp

I thanked him kindly.ThumbUp

I continued my journey for about another mile and the pulled off to the side off the road for the next picture.

Here, the odometer rolls to the magic 100K. Again, another 2 wheel biker stops and asks if I need some help. I am amazed at our bike community and I am forever grateful to their courtesy. ThumbUp

My trike is a 2009 Honda Goldwing that I have owned since mile 1. The 2016 CSC trike conversion kit now has 3K miles and was converted at 97K.

So, "What's Your Current Odometer Reading?"

Yes it is great to see that the spirit lives on in our world. I have only had my Spyder since June of 2015. It is a 2012 and only had 8500 miles on it when I bought it. It now sports 26,396. I rode it to work this morning and yesterday morning it has been so nice here in Central Utah.

:Congrats: on the conversion Ronnie.

Now it's time to have fun and rack up some trike miles.

EnjoyThumbUp
 
14,955 on my 2011 FLHXXX. Street Glide Trike for those that wonder. As a matter of fact, my VA license plate read "11 XXX". I had folks as me if I was a porn star because of that plate. I told em "no, that I was hung like a stud hamster". Rode the hell out of it the first year, then I had to go back to work.

Just shy of 19,000. Trike will be 1 yr old next month. We've had a warm winter but it has been very damp with temps in the lower 40's in the am when I leave for work. Simply a tad to cold for my body. I feel the cold now more so as I've gotten older so I take the cage.
 
My 2011 HD Tri-Glide just turned 158,723 miles.

Ride Safe.

Really? Has it been overhauled? That's lots of miles for an air cooled!! I'm on a 2016 Tri-Glide but am relatively new to Harley. My life has mostly been spent on metrics.

I've been wondering how many miles the Tri-Glide's are good for. I know what the Honda's will do.

Wait! I see you've already answered my questions. That's what I get for starting to read the thread back to front! lol

I knew when I saw the title of this post that it might throw some stress on us Harley owners! lol lol

Brian, how many miles do you have on your 2016 Tri-Glide?:cxtv:

ThanksThumbUp

7,000 hot enough miles to be considering trading for the promised much cooler 2017 model.

But with that said. We have done some things to cool it down which is working ok. We love the dang thing during cooler ambient temps.

But with the promise of an even cooler ride and an improved engine design on the 2017 I think that's where I'm heading.
 
Brian, do you ride two up and pull a trailer ? If so, I've no doubt that has a lot to do with the heat issue you are having. Last summer I rode the '16 from TX to the west coast twice. All over the damn place. Never had a heat issue, even going across Death Valley and into NV before heading back to TX. I do ride solo. Thus, no trailer.

Thanks that's great to know that heat does NOT have to be an issue.

99% of my rides are two up but no trailer.
 
I am betting it is your other half that notices the heat off the cat more so than you do. That is one of the major reasons the cat has been moved rearward on the '17's. Also the new motor evidently does run cooler. Sadly, I have a feeling my two west coast rides last summer are going to be it for me in the long distance department. Mentally, I loved doing them. My 70 something body tells me otherwise. :D
