That is a lot of miles!  I am impressed.   I hope none of the bike (or rider) problems caused any real issues.

I'm at 64k and will be replacing more than just the oil pump and lifters.  :(

Still tearing it down to find where the metal pieces on the oil drain plug magnet came from.

Here's mine. Living in the great white north our riding seasons are not that long. I also park the bike every August for a month. It's a 2011 so that's 5 months of prime time riding. I also do not ride to work. This is all pleasure.  ;D

That's about 76k miles correct?  That's putting some miles kilometers on, considering where you're located.  :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks JCZ & Lars.

I have been on a bike since I was a kid but did not do any long rides till 2010 when I went to The Dragon. Had such a great time in those 10 days I invested in my 2011 CVO SG and never looked back. Been to a lot of nice places in North America and have even better memories.

As for my golf game. :smilie_daumenneg: Lol.

Golf and motorcycle riding are conflicting pass times.  You can play golf when you are too old to ride on two wheels! Plus you meet  better class of people on the motorcycle!  Keep on riding.   :D
