Me and the wife love our EGC and I dont care who doesnt like it or thinks its an old mans bike or blah blah blah. The people who make those comments usually just like to parade up and down Main street to the bars, not my type of ridin. Btw I bought it at 29. I would have bought one 9 years ago if I could have afforded it.

The Sportster is a girl's bike. The Electra Glide is a geezer bike. Why the names?

Im only 37 and think the bike is the bike for riding IMO. You are the one that counts everyone else should just get in line and kiss your *** if they dont like it. You buy a bike for you not for everybody else. Just my opinion of course.

Ok, I'm 47 also. My first Harley.........I',m a dumb ***, shouldn't when the metric route before.
I finally can afford the Harley and could not make up my mind on the one I wanted , I took a chance and
went with the top dog (hog) and got the ultra........for the price you get it all, most all anyway..LOL
You will want to change any one you get so why not the the ultra as a platform to start with, any way
what I learned supprised me. Geezer Glide is what I thought I bought, I wanted comfort, what I really got
was the best all around bike I could have ever thought of. This thing handles better than the Honda I had.
Sure this is a big heavy bike, but WOW, this thing handles as though it is.................well , hard to explain.
It is fun to ride as if itwere more of a sporty type of bike and you still get the comfort of the touring set up.

Do that many people care what other people think? If they did they should worry more about wearing chaps than the type of bike they ride.

But, I have seen the light.....and buying a new one too..........never thought I would do that with all the good deals out there on used ones right now......oh well, never say never!!!
