Will be 63 this summer and just bought a new Heritage. Plan to wear it out. Might be my last 'heavyweight' bike but I can go lighter when I need to.

BIG EARS,
I have a friend that has a Road Glide with a 103" kit and swears it'll do 130 mph.

I am 67 and have a Sportster and a Road Glide. The reason HD makes more baggers is because we motorcyclest buy more baggers. No other reason.

My 05 sportster has 62,000 miles and my 08 TG has 28,000 miles. The RG went to Alaska in 09, and is planning to do the 4 corners in 10.

07 Heritage Softail Classic just turned 50,000 in approx 2 1/2 years of riding; Milwaukee, Laconia, Rolling Thunder and Sturgis.

Planning on getting 2010 Ultra Limited for wife comfort during riding the four USA corners and longer rides . Still going to keep Heritage for local riding.

Just turned 63 years young. Rode in my other life. That's another story.

If you're not 60+ you probably aren't cool enough for a Bagger yet. Stick with your little intermediate bikes until you are.

Flame on!!
