Loved em ever since the BadBoy. Just didn't have the money to buy one outright since I was 14 when they came out. I want another streetglide soon but I don't think I could ever sell my present bike which I sprung last winter.

I just turned 29 today and have always been in love with stringers which is why I put one on my bike. I don't think age is a factor as much as taste. I'm even running no front fender. I like the old school stuff. I'd love to have a knuckle or pan head one day

Nope. I'm 72 and although I like to look at them I just not interested enough to get one. I did see a custom bike recently and the International Bike Show in Chicago that incorporated a shock absorber witch looked interesting.

Before I bought my Heritage, I was nearly ready to buy an '05 Springer Classic in vivid black. Wish I could have both actually. The final factor in my decision to buy my current bike was the six speed tranny. Maybe an older Heritage Springer will follow me home one day. A new Road Glide Custom would be nice too...dream on 
Guess I'm still a kid in my mid 50's.

I've always liked the look of springers ever since i was a kid.
When i add another bike to the stable it will either be a bad boy an 07 springer cvo or a wide glide with a springer put on(really leaning towards this).
I'll never part with my xbones.

That's good. There are two things that can be learned form this thread. One is that it appears "old guys" like springers. The other is, speaking for myself and most "old guys" that I know and I know a few, we really don't much care whether someone likes the things that we like or not.
As long as we like it, that's all that matters to most of us. So....No need to be sorry and I'm glad you're not.
