three happy years together
Three years ago today I took delivery of my Harley. She had only 7 miles on her. Now she has 26,000.

Here's to another 25000, but you will probably upgrade before then!

Good job Scott! (did I actually say that?) 26K divided by 3 is 8666 miles per year. I turned 14K after 1 year. I guess that about ends the "BD don't ride" comments!!
Keep the rubber side down good buddy and see ya in Orofino!

I don't go on as many rides as I did in the past because I got tired of going to the same places over and over again.

Congratulations Scott. Did you really take delivery of a new motorcycle on April 1st ?
That is longer than my first marriage lasted, but she had MANY more miles on her with a lot of different riders while I was away on the Korean DMZ for 2 years.

Yeah, it just worked out that way. I wrecked my Nomad on March 15 and it took 2 weeks to settle the claim. I had April 1 off for AZ Bike Week, so I went and picked up my new bike.

I would like to add, riding the same places over and over still beats not riding at all.
