Mine arrives next month, SE Ultra, 50 yrs old.
Still keeping the low rider to tear up the streets when mama's not around on the back.
I get the same rush and sometimes act just as stupid at times as i did at 20.

I bought an Ultra last fall and like riding it for the long hauls. Call it a Harley-bago.

Yeah, I caught some flack about "geezer glide" etc. But it's all blah, blah, blah to me. A close friend who is older than me and rides a Fat Boy won't even think about one because she does not want to be called a "geezer". I told her she never would, she would be a "geezerette".

Bought my EGS in 1999 at the age of 59, bought my FXDI in may of 2006 I currently have both. But I owned a 1961 FL back in 1961 for a couple of months but soon went back to sportsters and didn't move up untill 1971 when I bought my first superglide, after that I bought a 1973 FLH and then on and on, so I have had all kinds of bikes sinch 1958. I don't really think age has much to do with it..its all in the head, you ride what you like. [sm=biker.gif]
