I am 62 and have a motorhome, so I didn't need a touring bike, that's why I got a Fat Boy SE. When I get to old to drive the motorhome I will buy a touring bike.

24 - built a '75 Iron head sporty, raked, 4" over, straight pipes, kick start only. Awesome Bar bike but got tired of the highway ride.
28 - built a '84 FXR, raked, 3" over, lots of motor work -it was a great around town ride, but the highway ride was just ok.
39 - built a '89 FLHT, I'll never go back to a little bike again. It can go to a Bar or across the continent just fine.
