My SESG get ridden, not daily (man that would be nice) but certainly no garage queen.

The "garage queen" is my wife's Street Bob.   :huepfenlol2:

Bought it to ride it. I have gotton the same comments about a CVO as a daily rider. If I am by myself I flip a coin Ultra or Vrod. If the wife is with me. It's the Ultra most of the time.

Daily driver for me.  I have a 75 mile round trip to work.  I didn't spend this kind of money to just stare at it in the garage.  I plan on riding it till the wheels fall off.

Guess I'm mostly a weekend and vacation rider since I'm in a suit Mon-Fri.  My daily ride (Mustang) is still fun but not as much fun as the weekend riding on my SESG!!  When I retire I plan to ride my bike/s 95% of the time and my 4 wheel hot rods 5%.

My Land Rover sits in the driveway for days and sometimes weeks at a time.

'10 SEUC and getting ready to turn over 65K.

I never apologize for it being dirty (like it is now).  Went on a ride a few weeks back with a mixed group of bikes.  Had a couple of 'Wing riders ask me how I rode so many miles and kept it so clean. 

I guy there had an older 'Wing with (i think) 208K on it!

Sounds like me.  12 month old Range rover has 7200 miles on it.  Wife and I both drive it.

10.5 month old CVO road glide has 20000 on it.

This is funny to read. I was really surprised by the "garage queen" reactions. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

17,000 miles on it since October 23, 2010. I guess you could call it a daily driver since I work from home, except to go to the airport.

By the way, the wife and I are leaving tomorrow to ride down to Pensacola. So it will be ridden daily for a bit.

Since spring the Jeep has about 600km on it, the Ultra got about 4000 miles on it before it was traded, and the new SG has over 13,000 km on it this year.

same here!  My motto is, "ride 'em like u stole 'em, but keep them looking like a garage queen". 

Great to see another V-Rodder on this board.  It's great to have a bike you can jump on when you just feel like ripping up the twisties(lord knows my Breakout won't do that with it's 0 degree lean angle   ;D  )

I don't know any CVO owners that let their bike sit around gathering dust.  On the other hand, I know plenty of people with standard models that never leave the garage.  If I didn't plan on riding much, I wouldn't invest so much in my bike, but after spending what we do on these bikes, I kind of feel an obligation to ride it as much as possible.  Somehow, I have to justify the expense to myself.  I just traded my 09 SEUC for a 12 SEUC and had 48000 miles on it.  I only ride it to work if there is no rain in the forecast.  I also had a SE Vrod for about 1.5 yrs concurrent with the 09 SEUC, so I put some more miles on that bike too.  I sold it because I wasn't putting as many miles on it.  I didn't want to have a bike that wasn't getting used.

Mine's a garage queen from now until about April. I don't enjoy riding when it's freezing out and when there's snow and salt on the roads. I envy you guys that can ride year round.

Well, my Monday-Friday daily driver is a company truck so CVO is not a daily driver. Even if I didn't have a company truck I don't think I would ride the Ultra every day to work. Some days would probably ride the wifes Road King.  :drink:
