After not riding for about 20 years I retired and decided that I wanted a Bike again so I got a 2009 1200 low sporty had it for a month and traded it in on a 2009 Ultra, now at 68 years old I have a '14 Limited and wouldn't go back to a smaller bike for anything. My buddy just went toa trike and is tryng to talk me into one. I haven't budged yet but it is in the back of my mind that I will be there someday.

You just come to a point in your life when you know its time for a Touring bike.
My 2015 RG was my first Touring bike and purchased it last year at the age of 44 and love it.
I've had my fair share of non Touring bikes, 6 sport bikes a Dyna and a Soft tail. I cant imagine not being on a Touring bike now.

Well, when I was young, I rode a Sporster, then graduated to a Super Glide. Then I got sidetracked completely and went Husky, Ka za waki, Ducati, then back to Harley with a Fat Boy. That was the 1970's thru 1990's, Now it's a Roadking and I'm considering a Limited in the near future.
So, go figure, Geezer Glides are for Geezers. I'm a geezer, so it's kinda like a rite of passage. You get older and you deserve better.

I rode a Sportster first, saddled it down with my version of the Beverly Hillbillies truck on two wheels, bought a Road King Classic with saddlebags only, kept the Sportster but never rode it. Traded them both in on a 2105 Limited.
13K+ in my first year with it and have been able to take my wife on more trips.
Miss the Sportster and the Road King once in a while but not enough to buy another one.
