44 with a 2013 EGC. I've been riding since I was 7, and on the street since 17. I got a 1987 EGC when I was 33 and started doing more touring with my dad. He's 70 now and still riding his 2002 Road Glide.
I bought my 95 Softail when I was 37 and rode it for 20 years, it got to the point now that I'm 57 I needed something more comfortable, hence the 08 Ultra Classic which I bought last July.
I did start with a 2015 '48' though. I just needed something with more storage, better passenger riding, and better for long hauls (fuel tank and comfort).
Age 25 in 1989 with a '83 FLHP, then at 35 a '92 FLHTC and then at 50 I bought my current ride 2013 FLHTK. The nice thing about the '83 it didn't have to be a Geezer Glide all the time. My avatar is my '92.
