Default Why are softtail riders so damn wrinkly??
Every bar I go to I see touring baggers, and every rider looks the same! Why are they all so damn wrinkly? Is it because they don't wear sunscreen when they ride? With Dynas on their way out, we need to take the power back!

Why are you so concerned about how others look?

When you get up in your years and you're not a "raisin", you'll make billions telling others how you did it. Until then, enjoy the wrinkles.

Your thread title asks about Softail riders, but your post says bagger/touring. Which is it?

Someday you'll be old, too. IF YOU'RE LUCKY!

I'am 55 and back when I was younger did not see many guys under the age of 60 riding the big baggers. We just always considered them old man retirement motorcycles/Geezer glides . Didn't want anything to do with them. They were not cool. It only makes sense that you would have the old wrinkled guys buying them since this is Harley's customer base in 2017 . Once this generation dies off you will start to see riders who are wrinkle free if Harley can survive the loss of that age group .
