Talking 59 soon, Fatboy! (me and the bike)

I rode them all, for me it's the Fatboy! Does everything I want. Handles, with the Stage 1 it sounds right, fast enough and comfortable as I could ever want...

I have to agree ! turned 68 this Nov. and don't show any signs of slow'in down yet. Got rid of the Big Bagger and bought the 2010 Lo Boy and not lookin' back.

Took the Dual Purpose (KLR650) out on monday for a bit of back roads (dirt) that is and had a blast. . . . Snow today, Grrrrrr

That's my story and I'm stickn' too it.

Cool Old rider

69 Years & more to come,I hope! Bought "09 Heritage June "09, Black in color with the "SWOOSH". First bike since a Norton Commando, 850cc, 1974. Discovered in a hurry the bikes not the same. Heritage fits me like it was made for me. Norton was set up Cafe Style. Hips higher than head. The Dragon put me out of motorcycling in 1976

Most of my riding is two up, I'm 64 and like my comfort, especially having a place to put my and the missus' junk etc. I ride a bagger because I want to, maybe I don't look cool any more but that's me. Call it a geezer glide or whatever, but it beats sitting at home or posing. I say to each his own and I enjoy riding with anyone on anything..
