I'm 64 and will work up to a bagger someday. Right now I'm riding my Fatboy and would like to get a SG or Road King in 2011. I might just be old enough then. Ya' think?

..... see no end insight of my riding days

Toys keep me young?

Almost 62, and always laughed at baggers as being two wheeled winnebago's. Now I are one, only so the wife would finally ride (last year). I ride the Ultra every day just like the others before it. I'll switch back when she stops riding. I don't use any of the features, except the trunk.

The number "77" came and went this past Nov. Unfortunately I'm relegated to cages until "qualified". Didn't need "qualification" in the '50s.

I think it's pretty funny that many of the Softail and Dyna owners that responded have bags and windshields on their bikes but swear they'll never own a bagger. :-) I love 'em all but that's just me.

I hear you. I have a deatchable windsheild and detachable bags. I almost never take the windsheild off but the bags are off most of the time unless there is a big temperature swing projected and I'll need to take off or add some clothing.
Ride on.

Too young for baggers
Will be 62 in July. Solved the problem this fall. Love my Heritage Classic, and the windshield is nice on long trips, but the Lowrider I bought in Oct satisfies my younger side, and I am having a ball modding it. My wife thinks I am in early dimencia(or however you spell it).

There's a big difference between my Low Rider and an Ultra Classic (which is my definition of a bagger).

Just turned 60 last week and been on bikes since I was 19> Still riding as often as the weather allows . Nope no bagger here!, but to each his own!! Don't think age has any thing to do with it, Just a matter ot taste!

I know what you mean. Though I have an Ultra now, I can't wait to go back. Before this I never had any bags or windshield. This windshield is awful in the rain, blocking my vision and reflecting light, as well as taking away from my open ride.
