Just turned 60 and I'm on bagger #5. I have had many HD's over the years. The irony of owning a bagger is that it is heavier to maneuver, which means us old farts still have to have enough strength and balance to handle. On the other hand, a Heritage is much lighter to handle, which would make sense for the old and feeble. My riding buddy is 75 and he rides a hopped up street glide.

BTW, did my first "official" iron butt last year. Casper, Wy to St. Louis. 1,050 miles in 16+ hours. Got the certificate, hat, and tee shirt to prove it.

Will ride to Sturgis in a couple of weeks and on day one, I ride 700 miles. Like my wife says, there's no fool like an old fool.

Two years ago I bought a Fatboy when I was 63 years old. If I ever thought that I would be riding as much as I am I would have definately bought an Elctraglide with a detachable tour pack. 35,000 miles in two years.

Got my first bagger when I was all of 22 years old , have always had a bagger ..

I dont think that bagger is a revisionist term , we always called 'em baggers back then ..
