More than the mileage total for 100 trips to the nearest bar and back?
just kidding.
My guess would be more than 4-5000 miles a year.

Averages on Harley’s are about 2k per year, mostly due to the guys that buy them and don’t ride them. But a normal rider would put around 5k on his bike, depending on the climate you live in.

Those things will run like crap forever. Sure they require constant maintenance, but harley guys love that. They see major overhauls as a golden opportunity to make that huge low horsepower antique into a huger slightly higher horsepower antique.
