61 years old and riding my first Harley. I really love this Ultra Limited and plan to rack up some miles on her. Picture at 11

Age is in your mind. If you can safely keep the bike up at 60, God bless us.

Pushing 61! Been riding since '74. Hope to ride many more miles before I hang up the chaps.

I would like to ask the over 60 gang about another matter - itching on your back where you can't scratch. I wonder how many have this condition?

notaligia paresthetica - it's a result of ageing, hard work over a long time, injuries, etc. It's neurological... My doc told me about it - said it's sort of forgotten. Sez most guys my age...

So, does your back itch for no apparent reason?

Hey my friend, you just helped me out big time!!! I do get some weird itching sometimes...have MS which does not help.
It does not bother me much and the overall scheme of things is pretty minor.
I do my best to not let anything stop my riding plans or othets.
Just came back from a week at Laconia followed by a week at the Atlanticade Bike Rally in Moncton, Newbrunswick,Canada. Had a great time at both.
Nice folks in Canada!
Plus gas without ethenol is available everywhere in Canada...all high test is no ethenol and petro and shell stations have no stupid ethenol in ant grade...very nice...
Thanks again for the nice tip!
