High Mileage Valkyrie?

saddlesore · Sat 29, Sep 2018, 23:14:20

1999 standard with 168,000 miles , all mine.
Shredded a belt, bent some valve stems. New valves and I have it running but still not right. Working on it but temps are dropping.
Too much time wrenching and not enough time riding.

98 tourer last week I cracked 4500 I'm confident I will break the 5000 mark by mid summer!

May as well put mine in the thread.

2000 I/S, died in 2007 with 136,500 on the dial.

112,700 mostly fun miles where mine.

RHonda's had 115200 when sold.

Dan, pretty much the same thing. Prudhoe Bay is the body of water the oil town of Deadhorse is at.

F6TRVLR · Tue 23, Jul 2019, 09:02:53

Yes, the end of the road is Deadhorse. Most people don't know where Deadhorse is that's why I said Prudhoe Bay. Air cargoed the bikes from Bogata to Panama City. Almost nothing gets through The Darian Gap, certainly not a Valkyrie. Started the trip in central Brasil and headed south to Ushuaia down the east coast of South America. Going north was up the west side of S.A. Rode along the back of the Andes. Our highest elevation we rode was about 15,200 feet. Awesome trip!

Not my Valkyrie but next best thing, my F150.

saddlesore · Tue 23, Feb 2021, 09:21:11

I haven't updated this for a while but my 1999 Valkyrie standard only pick up 2000 miles since the last post. That puts me a little over 170,000 miles.... My parts are failing faster than my bike.

Valker · Thu 01, Jul 2021, 14:15:59

My 98 is now at 190,400. This disappoints me terribly. Covid, my spinal surgery, my wife being seriously ill since May 1 this year, and border crossings have so far prevented me turning it over 200K miles. It should have happened in 2020! Drat!

DDT (12) · Thu 01, Jul 2021, 14:19:50

690K... still on the road, but moving less and slower these days...

That is truly an amazing amount of riding on one bike

moving less and slower is relative. (There are dudes half your age doing less)

My brother always tells me, still is not moving, forward at any rate is moving and moving you will reach your destination.
