How old is your oldest motorcycle?

My every day long distance touring is a 2017 Ultra 107 and now has 45k. My other OLD bike is my Dino. NOT Dyna.
A 2002 EGC , 88cu, 5 speed. Has 85K. I have taken it on week long 1000 mile trips, 2 up. Love it, the sound, the fun, just can't stay up with the fellas that have 2020 and up 114.

My oldest bike is my 1997 Harley Heritage I purchased new in 1997. Has low 24K miles snd has never had a drop of Ethanol! The inside of my gas tank looks new thanks to the pure gas always filled to the very top when parked with a mix of Marvel Mystery Oil and Sta-bil in every tank of gas the last 28 years. Its a low mile bike as I have other newer bikes but I keep the oil and fluids changed 1-2 times a year, ( Bel-Ray mineral ) clean or change the plugs once a year and she never lets me down. I do a deep clean and old school 1-2 step polish then top coat Carnauba yellow wax was once a year.

I knew my wife was a keeper when she said " you can buy those new bikes but you can't sell the old one"...
Owning the same bike almost 30 years ( not just owning a old bike ) is like a time capsule as I have three decades of memories on the same bike. When I take her out for a spin its like I'm traveling back in time and in my 20's again!
Its shocking when I remember $5 and change would fill her up when new...

The oldest bike I've owned was 1948 Panhead. I've owned alot of newer bikes over the years. I usually keep them a few years and then sell them out of boredom. My current bike is a 2006 harley Police Road King. It was a former NYC bike. It was a little banged up when I got it, but parts are all over the place and pretty reasonable. No lights or siren, but it does have the most comfortable seat ever made by Harley. This is the third cop bike that I've owned. 37k miles on it and it doesn't leak a drop of oil.,,,
 
1982 Yamaha Seca 750. Taken down to the frame, powder coated, rebuilt with all NOS parts to replace any that weren't in basically showroom condition by my uncle who gifted me the bike. Even an NOS instrument cluster that started at zero miles.
