Vintage???
While at the campground in Sturgis this year I met a number of people camping near me. While talking with one group of neighbors, one of the guys mentions that he rode up to Sturgis on a vintage Harley. Go to check out his ride and it's a 1997 Dyna Low Rider. Bike had about 103K miles on it, so obviously the guy does ride it. I just thought it was a little bit strange that the guy considers his bike "vintage". The bike isn't even 25 years old, plus this bike has an electronic speedometer. I guess for "me", it's difficult to consider something "vintage", if it has an electronic or digital readout. I'd never consider my 1993 Fatboy vintage.

But, I get what you mean... hard to think anything in the 90s could be vintage . |

FWIW, Department of Motor Vehicles considers 25 or older antique/classic/historic so your fat Boy is almost there. My 1990 ZX7 is registered as historic with QQ plates.

Wow, I guess my 86 is a true relic.

I have had antique tags on my 84 softail for almost 10 years. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...400bce3b0f.jpg |
