I pulled up to a real gasoline pump today right next to a young dude on a metric crotch rocket. That thing looked damn uncomfortable to me and I've owned and ridden metric but they were more traditional looking.
Just turned 60 so I guess I'm an old geezer but I like my Low Rider.

Meanwhile, I love tooling around on my nice comfy Heritage(s)

Great for you.... IMO... it's all and only about What's bike fits your needs...
you love yours and I love ours...
for me it was a Heritage... and after 8yrs the wife and I still love it...
it's great for our 90% two up riding and also great for my 1-2 trips a yr with my son that's 6-7 days that's usually around 1800 miles long...
Its also a great bike for those 2-3-4 hr daily rides....
IMHO--- I know the Heritage is the best bike that MoCo makes for our needs.

I turned 66 last month, I ride a 2014 FLHXS It's almost as comfortable as my old 1983 FLH. On the SG I have ridden from my home in Louisiana to Daytona, and back, Then mid summer up to Northern Illinois and back to Louisiana. I think the Corbin seat I added made the ride more comfortable than had I had a stock seat. Still do about 500 miles a day like when I was younger. This beats seeing in a cockpit for 4-5 hours at a time like I did prior to hanging up my wings.

72 here. Ride a 2011 FXDWG. I've ridden metrics in the past and did a lot of motocross in my younger years. My Wide Glide is my favorite. Put a tour pack on for long riding with the GF. Makes packing a little easier.
