I bought this one when I was 41.


And I was 67 when I bought this one to replace it after it was wrecked.


Old man’s bike? WGAF?

This morning, I got on my old man’s bike and put a couple of hundred miles on n it before it got hot. I also have a 2018 RGU and prefer riding my Heritage over the RGU. T

No one gives a ****. Every Heritage that's been posted in this thread is worth 3 of your Sportsters.

Congrats on it being free in your head I guess...

Anyone remember that guy who used to try to turn every thread into a Sportster thread? I wonder if he's back? User name was Remington or Winchester or something like that.

OP: Well, what did you decide? Old man bike or not?

LOL Mark Winchester! This dude is not puffing his chest out, trying to set up a fight...it's a whole new level of obnoxious, though. He has posted 50 times about his "super re-gearing"

That was the guy! Yeah now that you mention it he did seem like he always wanted to start a fight. I even responded a time or two until I figured out that he was nuts.

OP: apologies for the hijack.

They assured me I'm to old to be street racing which is what I'd normally be doing tonight and I'm also to old for a Sportster. I'll be honest with you guys a Heritage Classic sounds pretty good.
