Default Me and my 99 Softail Custom
I was riding in Wednesday to meet up with some guys for lunch, and one of them snapped this picture of me. I will turn 75 at the end of the month and am hoping to ride a few more years on this old bike. I bought it 6 years ago with 17,000 miles on it, and it now has 50,000. I don't know which of us will wear out first. The bike is just getting broke in good. Me, I am not so sure. LOL. I rode an 84 Iron Head Sporty for 23 years before I got this one.
