552,000... still keeping me running around the continent!

Damn!!!   At what point can I consider my 02 Valkyrie broken in?  

It was low mileage when I got it and I can honestly say that I haven't been riding as much as I'd like to but, all things considered, I'll never need another motorcycle.  This one will wear me out.

One of my Harley buddies is amazed my bike has 130k. I told him it was nothing and that you had over 500k. I'm not sure if he believed me. Oil & tires ? You need to start buying them by the truckload.  :cooldude: You guys have fun on the FCR  :cooldude:

I'm at 181378 miles on mine now and getting her ready for the FCR

Lookin here at the miles wadded up on my Valkyrie and the other Valkyries represented here I now have a wish that I KNOW is impossible. Would like to be in my mid 50s again and have my Phatt Ghurl and Then MAYBE I could catch up with our friend and inspiration Bruce-Better known as D D T and Ali. Some of my friends in P G R have seen my odometer and ask me Why I have not traded her in.  :roll: Then I splain to em it ain't even broke in yet then I tell them about the miles on Ali.  :cooldude: Bruce my friend-yer gittin closer to that million mile mark! RIDE SAFE.

'Our girl' has passed 591,000 miles... 30K+ since the last InZane. That gal is really something! Her longevity is due to the tender, loving care she receives from several riders here on this board, and the story of her survival is a tribute to the generosity and goodness of the fine members of our 'extended family'. I'm the mighty lucky guy who gets to ride her...

Can you please remind me what ALI stands for?  I know I've been told a couple of times over the years, but the trust I put in my memory seems to be unwarranted.  :)

The FINAL millage on my '98 Tourer as I signed it over to Progressive Insurance today is 112,695.  That moves me up a little farther on Willow's list, but it will go no farther.   :'( :'( :'(
