5 years and loving it. I will admit to occasionally looking at the new Ultra Classic Harleys but every time I do it's like looking at another woman and then looking back at my wife and thinking, yeah, she ain't as purty as she used to be 30 years ago but damn can she cook.

Bought my 09 in Jan of 2012. It had 7400 miles on it. At my last oil change and look over about 4 weeks ago it had 27688. considering the first bloke put 2400 a year on, I put about 10K a year. LOL

Had my first one, an '04 Midnight, for 5 years. Back issues forced the sale of it and the purchase of an '03 Roadstar. Rode it for a year, things got better, so I bought a low mileage '99 red/silver in Aug '12. I don't foresee this one going anywhere anytime soon. I LOVE these bikes, very easy to own.

I have had my 86 for Four years and got her when she had 40k miles. I have put a lot of parts on her to light her up and make her sparkle! Loved all the friends I have made during these times. They are addicting and I keep finding new things to do to her all the time.

Bought mine in 1986 and still loving her. 27 years later still riding her. Won't sell the old girl because the wife and I took our honeymoon on her.

Hello Everyone: Interesting read. After a 25 year absence from the sport, we purchased our "new to us" 05 RSTD in July of 2007. It had 15k on it then. Just what our marrige needed. The bike now has 50K on it and many memories with friends from this site.

 

The bike has had a few near misses. Tornado damaged storage unit, building shifted, could not raise the garage door. Fire at same storage unit a year later consumed 12 other units but stopped one unit short of ours. Heavy smoke damage (No heat damage) but fine otherwise. ( I think I will name her "Lucky")

 

I suspect my wife likes to ride on our bike more than I do.
