54 & 53. We ride an '06 Glide Classic, a 95 Road King, and an '05 Sporty Low. All Baggers. We have a tendancy to hop on and go down the road, need them bags to store your "stuff". I get tickeled at the street cruisers when they do get out of town and see a cloud......
What I Think is More important than AGE is How you Ride... I had a Rigid Frame for Years as I was living on Long Island, and 75% of My riding was Local or with-in 100 Miles.
I Bought my "Bagger" Electra Glide Standard in 2006 for My Birthday. I was 38. I am Living in Florida now, and Riding distances are Farther and Road trips more common.
Also, More Highway Riding... Not Just Back roads. So The Bagger is better.
I Find it Interesting the ages...I'm a Bit surprised at the age...The Average in HDForum seems to be in Mid/late 30's. Up North, Younger Bikers and "Club Riders" ride Bar Hoppers.. here in Florida, Club Riders ride Road Glides and Street Glides/Electras...
Hmmm, first bike was a Ducati 250 back in 1969. Then Yamaha DT-1, Suzuki GS500, Yamaha Xs650, then a break for a while. Back on a KLR650 and then my 09 FLHX. This is the first bike I really fell in love with, I'm 63 this month.
ok boys i think i got you all beat i'm 24 i ride an 03 ultra i stripped down like a street glide i've owned the bike for 2 and half years. i got 13 in apes and all the goodies. 102 rear wheel hp out of a 88 cu that i rebuilt this winter to get 8 more hp more reliability while still getting 300 km (i'm canadian eh) to a tank. i drag race the big animal as well. i got a bagger at a young age because i love to go for long hard rides, i've had a sporty and a softail, the bagger is the way to go
