I am 71 and will be 72 in Jan. I have a 04 Deuce and a 09 Street Glide. Ride smarter than when i was 17 riding a 500cc BSA going down a long hill wide open laying down on the gas tank and wanting more mph. Crazy 17 yo.

I'm getting there and I need a bragger. I workout during lunch.

So I need to take my gym bag

Sometimes my laptop for work

Now that we can legally have pistols in our parked vehicals at work, I need a place to stow my weapon.

Lunch bag that I bring from home.

During bike nights or just going out, I need to stow my jacket, helmet

I'm not a senior yet but last summer I rode to the Grand Canyon and back (2,700 miles in nine days) with a 69 year old guy on a Fat Boy. God bless him.

65 turning 66 in February. I have a '07 Heritage Classic with 45,000 miles and an '09 Ultra Classic with 25,000 miles. I'll ride as long as I can sling a leg over two wheels.

I'll be 60 next month, and I love my Super Glide Custom. No bagger in the plans for me. Maybe a trike when I'm about 80!!!

I'll be 69 next month.

Bought my first Harley a Softail Deluxe last summer.

Actually it's the first bike i've had since about 1980 when I owned a 750 "rice burner" for one summer.

Love the Deluxe. It's so easy to swing my old leg over. I will never own a bagger; too big, too heavy, too tall.

Not sure what might change....not quite senior yet. Just turn 57 this Thanksgiving so I got 3 years still to decide. So far my Standard seems to fit the bill...but who knows how much stuff will brake in 3 years. Never been real fund of dressers to tell the truth but if that's what I need to get to keep riding I be getting me one.
