63 this month and love my RG. Will be going to Maine in a couple months or so. Will be taking my wife along (she's 68) and a FXDL just didn't feel right. Will be gone about 3 weeks and riding long miles everyday. For us the object is to have fun. Whatever you ride do it in style and enjoy.

Well way back last year when I started this thread I was hoping we could go in a different direction. Not saying baggers are good or so-so, but rather just talking about riding and getting older. Tommorrow I sign up for Social Security and its hitting be like a ton of bricks or at least an 883 Sportster.
You know I've got to stop every 125 miles for gas and a **** stop. We need to drink more water but can't necessarily hold on to it. Just the changes some of are going through and how we are dealing with them. I know there are those tough 65+ years old with a 32 inch waist and can stay up and drink all night. Well that's great, go get 'em tiger.
I love riding and I'm not stopping. Just wanted to hear from some of you. Been taking care of myself for many years and not looking for the Depends dispenser. Just wanted to say, "How 'ya doing?"
Any ideas?

I'm 56-1/2 and almost as strong as I ever was, but I powerlift as a lifestyle as well as ride. The Heritage is just "me", but camping with the wife is a shortcoming with the small Harley bags and women's propensity to take a full wardrobe along.
I'd like to corner harder, but the floorboards keep me out of trouble with their incessant scraping.
I'd like to go faster but...oh wait, I do when I want to.
I'd like more chrome, but this is 4 hours a cleanup as is, so it's DONE! I gotta ride sometimes.
Ma didn't make us smart or pretty, but I can pick up my wife or either end of my Harley!
