When I was 15 I bought my first Harley, a used 1967 250cc Aermacchi Sprint in black. Rode that thing none stop and sold it with 25K miles on the clock. Later when I was 25 I bought a slightly used mint condition 1978 XLCR cafe racer from a local car collector. That bike was one of the best, most reliable bikes I've ever owned (over 40+ to date) ... and the one I most regret selling.

My wife and I both just bought our first HDs. Mine is a 2010 XL1200C and hers is a 2009 XL883C. I'm pretty sure were the youngest Harley riders out here on Guam, but we don't let it get to us. We like going on poker runs with all the old farts
