2012 Street Glide is the best cycle I have ever owned, by a long shot. Added a riders back rest to compensate for my bad back, and can still ride like the wind.
Just got back from a 4,100 mile trip with some friends, from San Diego to Glacier National Park (never been there before).
Just going to keep riding until I no longer enjoy the trips. Makes me feel 20 years younger every time I swing my leg over the bike.
70 and still riding here. My riding skills are not what they once were, but my judgement on how to not get into bad situations is better. I rode about 12,000 miles in the past year including a 4,000 mile ride to Sturgis, a 2,000 mile ride to Seattle, a 1,000 mile ride to Death Valley and a few rides in the 700 mile range. The rest happens most Sundays.
64 and been riding around 50 years, this was my first "bagger" 1965 panhead.
Bought this one new in 1992 and just sold it this year.
Last year wife said go buy a new bike, got a 2007 FXDWG. It lasted about a year, she didn't like it.
So this fall she says go to the dealer and don't come home without a new bike. Now we have a 2016 Street Glide Special ( my son calls it a geezer glide)
For what it cost I'll probably be riding it till I kick.
61 yo and putting about 10,000 miles a year on my Heritage. It's just turned over 19,000 and I"ve had it 20 months. Same with the bike b/4 it, a Harley of course! Hope to be in the wind when I'm 75, we'll see.
Don't know if I've posted already But, any way I'll be 80 this wk. been riding 8 yrs, started when I was 72, on 2 scooters before I went to Sportster, got it in April 2011, got 32,992 miles on it, longest trip was SC.
