If I recall correctly, DDT has over 400,000 on his bike. I think RJ is over 230,000.
There any many over 100,000.

My wife's sister husband has a 1978 Volvo with over a million miles on it....Volvo gave him a voucher check for $5,000.00 toward a new Volvo.

I totally believe you guys when you say you have Valkyries with 500,000, another with 400,000 and several in the 200,000+ breacket. That is just AWESOME MILEAGES.....and I congratulate you for your riding accomplishments.
One question I have is, other than ordinary maintenance work, HOW MUCH MAJOR WORK have you had to have done to get those miles??????
Alternators? Bearings? Engine rebuilds???????? etc.
