Have I bought myself a senior citizen bike????? Have others heard the same about their street glide or other touring bike?
Let's see, Sportsters are girl's bike. Electra Glides are geezer glides. What should we call Softtail riders?

You hang with a bunch of idiots.

I have been asked why I ride a Harley Bagger by metric riders and I give them a simple reply, " you can only ride what you can afford " works great and how true it is, puts them in there spot.

If you don't like being called 'names'......try riding a Sportster.

Just tell them that at least I'm not on a girls bike. Then get your cain out & walk like an old man & call them sonny. By the way I don't think that all the other bikes are girls bikes or that the touring are old farts bikes. But once you ride a bagger, it's over, that's all you care to ride, well for me that's how it worked for me.

Well, I guess when they grow up and strong like the rest of us they will finally be able to hold a geezer bike upright. But for now they can ride only what they can handle.
