63 here! Just traded a 09VRod for this; I loved the speed put a little over 10K on that V in a year of riding it - scared myself to death a couple of times. The 10RK is a lot slower but - the comfort is great!!

You gotta be tough to get old. The day I forget to put my feet down when I stop, I'll turn my Ultra into a Trike.

I'm 65 and just completed an 11 day, 4400 mile ride on my Dyna. There were a couple of "geezer glide" things that I might have liked on the trip (like cruise control for the long hiway stretches and a fairing for the rain) but all in all I'm still fine with my Dyna.

Wife bought me a 2010 Fat Bob for my 60th birthday. Last Harley I owned was a 61 XLCH that I gave my brother when I went overseas in 78. Love the Fat Bob and have put over 11,000 Alaska miles on it this summer. I did put Harley distressed leather bags and QD windshield on it so I won't rule out a bagger in the future. Like the Street Glides looks

61 and still riding a sporty - no interest in a bagger at this time - When I retire I may want to do some long rides but not for now.
