I know each bike is unique and how long it lasts has as many variables as there are riders and where they ride.  However, keeping all such things in the background, I'm wondering how many more adventures I can expect from my ride.  I have a 2012 SuperLow883 bought November 2011, with 53km on the odometer. Had a Screaming Eagle stage 1 kit installed at 36,567km and then a Screaming Eagle 1200 kit at 71,418.  Have now reached 110,746 and all is going fine apart from a bit of engine chatter. As far as performance is concerned I can't fault the trusty bike giving 23km/ltr on highway runs at 110kph and 25km/ltr at a more sedate 90/100kph.  Would like to keep riding for another 10yrs (provided health continues) as I'm now 73yrs young.  Would appreciate your comments as I prefer Sportsters with the EVO motor rather than what they may become with the water cooled Street 1200.  Do I look for a newer second hand Sporty with low kms or trust my present one?  Thanks.

To me there’s something special about keeping the same bike for the long long haul. If she pops, so be it, everything’s fixable and it’s a great feeling breathing life back into your trusty ride and in the end, having something pretty special rather than a run of the mill newby. 

 For one, I respect the older bikes and love seeing them on the road.

(Old riders too 😎)

Funny how attached one can get to a few bits of metal and rubber...and smoke.

A well maintained bike will last a lot longer than a person.

Look at all the nice Knuckles, Pans and Shovels out there still being ridden long after the original buyers are dust.

But I don’t think the election is over yet, just media trying to say it is. Just have to wait till next year & see.

Ishtar?.

Thought you made some sort of typo spelling mistake Krash.

Seems not.

I'm sure there are some guys out there who think she's a goddess though.
