Default Tell Me I'm Not Crazy.
I'll be 70 years old next month and I just traded my 2007 Street Glide for a 2012 FXDC with 7,000 miles. The bagger just got too heavy for me. I've always loved dynas. Am I nuts?

You're not Crazy. He's the dude with the green Street Bob with a Warthog mouth painted on the tank.

Nope, had the same issue with my FLHTCU, went to a Trike, have a Sportster and a Yamaha as they are lighter. Enjoy.

You’re 70. You ride what you want. Nothing wrong with riding a Dyna at any age. There not just for wheelie popping west coast boys...

Nah, like Reindeer said, I'm Crazy. You're not nuts either. And besides that, you seem like a die hard dyna guy anyway.

Enjoy the new bike.

If I find another bike I like as much as my Street Glide I’m liable to do the same thing.
