i ride my bike harder than most... that arent insane atleast.

i change the oil every 2 - 2.5k max miles

always keep up on tire pressure, cleaning it, servicing the chain with cleaner,lube and adjusting tension.... my bike has 9k miles and it still runs as strong as ever, it saddens me to think about people who look down on high mileage bikes i know for a fact my bike is in WAY better shape than most people i ride with who have FAR less miles.

anyway, dont be a pussy... and make sure you stay on top of caring for your bike, so you can beat on her too
