Middle Age??
RE: Middle Age??
They're all the same, just pick one and ride.......... your only here once and you don't need a calender to tell you that. You want chicks, buy a guitar. If you want freedom, buy a bike!

I got my Goldwing when I was 32 (Im 34 now). They can call me anything they want.
TK353- The Goldwing is a real bike. I love when my buddys and I ride 1000 miles to Florida. They are on their Harleys (there are also 4 other Wings)and I ride my Wing. We always have to stop so they can "rest" OR repair their bike. There are 20 of us that ride down and we always have an issue with a Harley every time. I laugh when a Harley guy has to get on the back of a Wing.
Dont get me wrong...I love my Harley....but theres no way you can knock a Goldwing. Power, reliability, and comfort

I might catch some flack for this one but, tell them Gold Wings are for the old guys. I'm 33 and ride a Heritage, wanted something that could be stripped down and look hot and at the same time put it all back on and go on a serious road trip.

You also forgot boring.
I know the Gold Wing is a nice bike, and I know Mini Vans are really convienant, but I don't drive one.

I'm 33 yrs. old and have liked the Deluxe for a while now. It has the "retro" classic Harley look that drew me to H-D's in the first place. I guess if we were to ride a bike closer to our demographic, it would probably be a sport bike - NO THANKS. I currently ride a Triumph Bonneville that I have heard referred to as an "old man's" bike too.

A couple of wrenches and 10 minutes and I can make my Heritage look like a "Fancy Fat-Boy" they are just pulling your chain the Heritage is the swiss army knife of the HD line it does every thing well...

I'm 49 andfrequently do 700+ (one way...gas'n'go only) on my Train.
I'm pulling out of of NY on Dec. 22 for one of these runs.
See ya on the road (I'll be passing down your way).
Don't need a goldwing just cause it's cold and 500 miles is a short day trip.
The answer to the question is.... ride what you're comfortable with. Don't let someone else make your decisions for you.

So im talking to a few guys earlier about my desires to own a heritage classic. And they tell me, your too young for one of those. Get the fat boy, its suits you better. I asked the meaning behind that, and I was told that most middle age folks go for the heritage and deluxes hence why the softail is harleys biggest selling class. They say the women love the fatboys. Is there any truth to this? Or am I just being yanked around?What does that mean? Im in my early 30s myself. I find the heritage to be a hot looking ride. Are the heritages and deluxes considered old men bikes?? Pls forgive my ignorance. I thought people bought bikes based on there hearts and desires, and not the age demographic. Just curious to know is that the general thought process out there? Am I too young to love the heritage classic??
