RE: Age
66 been riding since I was 12 years old on a old Indian. Rode all kinds over the years. The ones that stand out are the big harley's Ive owned from a 1948 74 with springer front end and tank shifter suicide clutch to my present 07 EG classic. A bunch in between. Had a Uncle that rode big Indians and Harley's till he couldnt hold the weight then at 82 was on a 125 Honda still riding, half blind carrying his beer in a milk carton bungy strapped to the back. Kids finally had to put a stop to it because of eyesight. He died a year after. Hope I'm half as lucky as him to enjoy the ride as long.

44 with a Road King Classic... I still have my '99 Valkyrie Interstate I bought at 36... I had a Kawasaki Concours Sport Tourer when I was in my mid 20s... I've had non-touring bikes in between and during, but the ability to carry 'stuff' when I just want to go is why I have them... No special tie downs or gym bags... just throw crap in the saddlebags and GO!

35 on a Road King Classic as well (although I've take a lot of the "classic" off of it). A bagger will always be my primary bike cuz I like to tote around a lot of crap plus be prepared for unexpected situations...
