Im 23, so I dont know about getting old, but i sure do like my Road Glide. Couldn't imagine not having it. I had a sportster, and I'll never look back. I've had so many great adventures on the Glide
Nice choice in bike...and from the looks of it, you know how to handle her. Was that shot taken at a rider training course, or are you practicing on your own?

I'm 45 yrs. old, today

Rode the FXDWG for 2 yrs., test drove a 07 Ultra Classic for 40 miles one night....3 weeks later traded the Wg in on a SG & never looked back....!!!!! And the only reason for the 3 week wait was they didn't have one in stock

Where do I get a cupholder for my handlebars?
I need it for my Geritol.

I am 49 and love my Road Glide.

Bought my first Harley - an '02 Fatboy when I was 28. 32 now and took a Street Glide out for a test drive last month. I was instantly sold. Traded in the Fatboy for a Street Glide last week.

It is evidently catching. Drove past the Hells Angels club house the other day, looked like a RUB convention. Almost all baggers parked out front.
