66 years old, ride a 04 VROD, and a 07 ultra clasic. I don't know which I like best. If only the VROD engine would fit in the ulta frame, what an awesome bike that would be.

Default what do you ride
56 on a 2005 FLHPI and a 2000 Buell S3T. The FLHPI is definitely the distance bike and the Buell is more for commuting. Started out at 14yrs. with a 1945 45 incher, an old military bike and have had Sportsters and Panheads and Knuckles etc. through the years.
