I just went from a 99 RK to a 08 SG. I'm amazed at how smooth the ride is on the 08 and I'm really glad I did make the move. Plus having tunes is a nice upgrade as well. Yep, over 55 but whose counting.

I'm 56 and retired. I ride an 03 FXD locally for fun. I take the 04 Ultra Classic for the long trips (and freequently around town too). When my girlfriend is at work, I often jump on her Sportster and take a ride. They're all fun and I could not have just one. If I had a bigger garage, I'd ad a Fatboy to the stable.

I'm close to 61. Used to ride a '92 Baja 502 boat. Sold that and for the last 2 years been riding a '07 RKC and lovin' the hell out of it! My inseam is around 28-29" too so I've lowered it and changed out the seat so I'm pretty close to flat-footed now.

HD wise I've had a Sportster and Fatboy. Bunch of metrics also. Ride a 2008 EGS and probably will till I physically can't anymore. EGS is just a good handling bike. Oh yeah, 63.

56 and I just switched from an 02 Fatboy to an 08 Ultra last year after a 1500 mile trip in 5 days. My back hurt for 3 days afterwards. I miss the fun and sportiness of the Fatboy but am truly enjoying the comforts of the Ultra.

Spent a lot of time on a Heritage, then traded for an '08 Ultra when I turned 62. I love it!
