Don't lump all baggers together. The UC is an old man bike. The road king however is NOT.

And no, it's not an "old man's bike"
And no, the music is not yet too loud
And no, I don't take any blue pills (and the wife always has a smile)
And no, I don't have the pot roast dinner at IHOP at 3pm so I can be in bed after wheel of fortune
And no, I don't mow the lawn in shorts with black socks and shoes
And no, I don't ever say I don't feel like rid'in cause my hip hurts
And no, they're still my real teeth

And no, I don't tell the kids "Well in my day I had to walk 10 miles just to..."

And no, never too young for a UC, the wife said she's gonnaget me one when I turn 60!

Take it ezzz

You're exactly right, but at 32 years old, I LOVE my old man bike.

34, have the Streetglide for longer rides and the deluxe for blasting around town.

Baggers are hot and in! There is no age associated if you ask me!
