I was 21 years old and it was a 1000cc Sporty. Had it for one year and traded for a 76 FLH (Full Bagger). Been riding baggers ever since except for one year when I bought a Softail Heritage (The first one in the state of Illinois in 1986-Red and Cream) which I immediately turned into a bagger. Back then the Heritage did not come with a windshield or saddlebags. I wasn't crazy about the ride on the softail so I traded it for another bagger.

Did I mention I love riding baggers
