Haha i got all of yall beat im 22 and a proud owner of a bagger! I was a beginner sporty rider that i still own, ive been teased about it by all the guys i ride with, with there fatboys and softails, fxrs, and dynas but when there stopping to stretch and fuel up im still riding my lazy boy!
28 with my first scoot being an 08 SG. I have owned it since new. I started riding on my dads 07 heritage softtail. and rice grinders all my lifef before that.
I'll be turning 44 in a few days. Been riding for about 25 years. I've been wanting a Road King for about 10 years but finally got one last year. I wasn't sure I was going to appreciate it, given my past scoots, but so far I've really enjoyed it. I think its a keeper. Of course, though its stock right now, I've already got some mods ordered and others planned.
Oh, and I also couldn't commit to an Ultra...yet. I briefly considered a clean 100th Anniv. Ultra before I got my RK. It was a real nice ride. Not saying I don't appreciate them. Its just not me... yet.
Two of my friends who are about the same age (one slightly older, the other slightly younger) both bought new '08 Ultras last year. They seem pretty happy with them. Though the younger friend also has a chromed out, aped out twin cam Fatboy. In fact, all of my friends who own baggers also have second and even third bikes. They're in a higher income tax bracket than I am.
I just turned 41 in Dec. been riding street bikes since 16. Went from old school Hondas to Heritage Springer to street drag bikes (Hayabusa's)(gsxr's) and back to the place where i belong back on a 09 Harley Street Glide. I could not be more happy. Lost to many friends to the rockets. Just turn on the radio and go. The most peaceful part of my life.
