65 - Heritage Softail Classic, all over the country (25k miles in 2 1/2 years). Riding since '64 (BSA Lightning Rocket). On Harleys since '82.

Once in a while I look longingly at an Ultra or a RG, recognizing their superiority in some areas, but my Heritage fits me like an old pair of slippers, and I know that I wouldn't be happy with anything else.

60 in August ... Ride a 08 Classic, use it to pull a camper trailer on trips.
Also ride a 02 Sportster "R" that I put knobby tires on to chase cows with ... actually use it to ride dirt roads, and two tracks, up here in Michigan. Set up right, those Sportys handle great in the dirt.
