My husband is 54 and we just bought an 09 Ultra Classic last month. I'll be riding on the back with him once he gets used to riding it. We rode 2 different Heritage Softail Classics (at different times, 02 and 05) before we bought the Ultra. I also rode my own Sportster for a time. I'm 48.

Rode my first scoot in 1963. I owned British and then some ricers. Tossed my leg across my first HD in 1979 (sportster). Now I'm 62 (63 in April) and ride an '07 FLHR. Don't take very long trips anymore - mostly a "less than 200 miles a day" oldphart so Road King is my choice.

I considered getting a Street Bob but "I do not want to ride a grandpa bike."

As long as you're in the HD family...they're all good.
