My 05 has 68,000 on it. I change synthetic oil every 3000 miles. how much life should I expect from this beastie?

From the first weekend in March to the First weekend in December. I ride it almost daily. I use it to commute to work and long runs with the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. It has seen some serious off road. Buried half way up the bike in a mud hole at October Mountain in Western Massachusetts.
the same weekend I raced a HD softail on the Massachusetts turnpike at 120mph. On Continental Twin Duro tires. Time permitting may even see a ride to Wyoming on the 30th.
I use fram filters and Mobil 1 oil. Wash my K&N every other oil change.
I don't wash it as much as I should.
Most importantly I have one of my daughters as a passenger. Dont want a breakdown or worse. I love the bike im proud of the bike. So glad I traded my old electra glide for it.

I change synthetic oil every 3000 miles.

Conventional oil is good for 3500. Go to 5k with syn as long as it is either motorcycle specific or diesel engine oil.

I don't think anyone has actually managed to wear one out yet.
