Hey HERR MONK, I'm going to be 67 soon, have had 24 bikes, been riding 45 years, own a 08 1200C with stuff, this is my last bike, I ride long and I ride it hard, it's all in the person who is doing the riding. It's Sportsters for me, sore a$$ or not. I would not own a geezer glide or a fagger bagger, and I wear a$$less chaps and fingerless gloves. I'm a site to see. (This is not to start a war here, just in reply to "over 65 years of age"). Ride safe,enjoy life, do YOUR thing.

Sloptails are for lookin' cool, not riding. Was he surprised? I'm always shocked how many, especially guys, just assume the big V-Twin, because they are big, will be faster... really cracks me up when they thing their 120ci custom will outrun a 600cc four-banger... silly kids.

But, when he tells people, they don't believe him. Bigger is not always better, boys!

Nightsters are nice little bikes, and sometimes I put one in a saddlebag when I go to a rally so I can use it for a 'pit bike' once I get there....
Just kiddin' so no need to get defensive or bent out of shape.
Nightsters just aren't my cup of tea, but that is why Harley offers so many different models.
Variety is the spice of life, and that's why I currently own 6 different models.
