As for me I am 55 and ride a Low Rider and love the sporty feel of it. I just use a little rack bag for most things and leave my bags at home. I have a bad neck so I am forced to use a windshield.
Thank you, trick photography! Low Riders are great bikes.

Rode an 05 Softtail Standard for 10 years and loved that bike. Decided to move to a bagger with more comfort and just got a 2015 Street Glide Deluxe. 61 years young!!!!!

I ride all families of HD from the Street 750 to a Road Glide Ultra CVO. For drag racing I have a 13 Street Bob with a 120R. Old coots rule!
Now this person is a rider!

I'm 63 but my mind is not! Bought a RGS because I thought it was cool. Never thought of it as an "old man's bike". I also have an FXRS which I really enjoy.
Definitely been riding it more than the Road Glide!

66 and this is my third Sporty. Lovin 'em, no plans to change, no plans for bags. Like Sarah I can get everything I need for a camping trip in packs tied to the sissy stick, passenger seat, luggage rack, and dispatch satchel (on my side). I Like Forest Service Camp Grounds on gravel roads and I think anything heavier than the Sporty would be harder to handle in gravel. I have a detachable windshield, but rarely use it. Like the clean wind in my face.

I gotta admit though, Icorps, that Softtail is one very nice looking machine!
