I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.

This is true, but I know of two that definitely get ridden.
An old friend traded in his HD last year for a new one: the trade-in had about 80,000 miles on it.
My brother's late 80s model just got a full engine rebuild (and build up) at about 90,000 miles.
Motorcyclists, not bikers. :lol:

I like the old Pan's. If I were to have a HD, it would be one of them. Dirty Dan had a pan, shovel, a knuckle and a few clones. He rode his BMW 900R most of the time. The last time I visited him before he died, he was talking about it. He had a Yamaha Road Star in his shop he couldn't ride. I still believe if he had ridden it down here each spring, he'd still be with us. He just gave up.

No worries, I think you were right the first time. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of the wrench-and-ride types.

I've ridden a few HDs, They're not my thing but I appreciate them as motorcycles.
It's sad to see when folks give up like that. However, I can't judge: there's no way to know what my situation will be when I get old. Older, I mean.
