When this thread started, I had a Road King. Still have it, but added an EG last year at age 57. Grew a short beard in my early 40's and it had grey in it so I shaved it off.

I've only got 5 teeth left. My dentist in Arizona once to told me "the tooth brush was invented in Prescott Arizona", I fell for it.
He then said, "Had it been invented anywhere else, it would be called a teeth brush".

When I was a little boy, 10-12 years old,there was a drunk that dated a woman in our Parrish in Eastern Canada. He rode a old touring probably a Road King or maybe a Electra Glide, this was in 1975-1977ish. It had Texas Longhorns tied to the front . He asked me if I wanted to sit on it while it was running and I thought it was the best thing in the world… I wanted a big Bagger since then… My 07 Electra Glide was my dream bike and I still get a **** eating grin when I ride it. It’s a beautiful bike.
