Haven't turned mine over, but it would appear that following 99999.9 is going to be followed by 00000.0.  ??? |

Not on a standard/tourer. You just have to look at the general condition of the bike. Timing covers, fork covers, swing arm, pipes, etc will be a little worse for the wear with 100,000+ on them.

It's interesting how many Valks (and Wings too) are ridden well past the 100K mark. For most brands this would never be an issue as so few get anywhere near that mileage.
BTW, another thing to look at is the footpeg rubber.

It's kind of a ritual, hope I live long enough to do it again. That was a couple years ago, I'm almost up to 30,000 next round. Hoser |

Easy to tell... If it's turned over, the engine will finally be broken in... running smooth and strong.  |

Heh...mine are new about once a year! OK, I'll bite on that comment. Why would you replace the footpeg rubbers every year? At 170,600 miles mine still work fine. |

He scrubs metal and rubber off in the twisties. Pretty much. About the time you finish off that outboard bolt on the bottom of the pegs, the ends of the metal plate are mysteriously shorter than they used to be and the rubber hits the road (along with the edges of my boots). |
