70, riding an 883XLC with bags and a tail pack - great for picking up groceries or travel. Riding since my teens, lots of bikes, including all HD families. I like the little Sporty for running around town, about 7500 miles a year. Ned

67 and I'm on my second Road Glide. It's nice to have all my stuff with me, especially when it rains. My whole group is 65 plus and we cover anywhere from 150 to 400 miles in a day, so we need the closets. But it is getting heavy in the parking lot.

+1 -- 60 and happy with my '05 Deluxe, just don't like the looks of a bagger.

Just 73 years old now and bought a new '09 FLHX last month. Handles better than any of my earlier bikes. I rented a Fat Bob and a Softail Custom before buying the Street Glide. No comparison; Glide was so much a nicer ride.

I'd say from the responses so far that the OP had a preconceived idea "senior" = bagger that seems to have been an incorrect assumption. Firstly, I have no idea what senior is...at some restaurants it is 55, airlines 65, in high school it is the last year. I am only 65 and so there are no plans for a bagger anytime in the next few years anyway. The Deuce rides just fine and I just stuff the Depends in my shirt. John
