Just turned 69 and love my 99 Softail Custom. Rode an EG once, and lost the motocycle feel. I spent 23 years on an old 84 iron sporty.

I ride a bagger, and I'm not yet a senior...
I'm just a junior member of the Old Fartz Club.

Turning 61 next month. Every bike I've had has been in the category of "less is more", so baggers just don't turn me on. Who knows, maybe some day I'll feel different.

I'm 60 and wouldn't even consider selling my Deuce. Have a BMW K1200LT for two up comfort, and a Yamaha FZ1 for play days. Probably going to sell the FZ and pick up a dual sport for getting back into the country. Bought my first bike (Honda 50 SS) when I was 13.
