Default What was your Last Bike Before Dyna?

And what was your first ever bike?

Wondering what the transition process was from one style to another for you guys. I know many younger sport bikers switch to Harleys when they get older. My neighbor crashed his Ninja and now is considering a Harley Cruiser.

For me it was simple because I started late. First a 48 and the a Street Bob

Lol!

Started with dirt bikes around the age of 15, a little later than I would have liked but you have to play the hand you're dealt. Got my 96 sportster 1200 when I was 18, got my 03 dyna when I was 28. Definitely wouldnt mind a newer bike, just not in the cards. So I have to keep my clapper going ha ha ha.

Rode a few dirt bikes as a youngster, but never owned a bike until I turned 53. Bikes in order have been:

2004 - XLC
2005 - FLSTFI
2008 - Suzuki Bandit (water cooled version)
2011 - FLTRX
2014 - FLD
2017 - FLTRXS (probably my last bike as I'm now 67)

I owned the Fatboy and Bandit simultaneously for a few years.
