I'm 62. Back when I was in my twenties I rode a Triumph, Yamaha and finally a Sportster. I stopped riding after I got married and had a family to support.
Then, when I turned 60 Igot the bug to ride again. I started out looking at the new Honda's. I then went to the Harley shop. I was there only a little while before I knew that I was only interested in buying a Harley.
I bought a new Sportster. The next year I sold the Sportster and bought a new Low Rider. Now, I have the Low Rider up for sale and I just bought a new 07 Electra Glide.
Wife's not too happy. But, I'm having a great time.
Will be 64 in July, started riding 7 years ago, always wanted to ride but the twist of the wrist was more then what the brain could keep up with... Once they both were on the same page is when I got my first bike and now look at me riding an 06Electra Glide Classic
