I put this post up 12 years ago, now at 57 I still have my 07 EGC with 111000 miles and now also have a Tri-Glide as well. For me it’s the ability to enjoy the road with Mrs Notgrownup with me… Still haven’t got that Heritage but who knows what the future holds.

the gray started for me at 37. I used to tell the wife I was "spraying gray primer" when she pointed it out...

When this thread started I had two male teens at home 14 and 17.

Hair fell out, beard turned gray, and I aged twenty years since 2010.

Missing a few of those, too. I got a quote on dental implants a few years ago, cogitated on it awhile, and bought a truck the following week instead.

I hafta chew slower, but my pants are still too tight.
