Almost 63 now got 1st Ultra in 2011 in my humble opinion the reality is it really does not matter what you ride,drive or what rides you; every day the Lord lets us live above ground is a good one. It is just a bonus that he has blessed us with the opportunity to have these great Big Boy and Girl toys. I heard this on TV one weekend I believe it was Billy Crystal he said I and agree completely that "He could do anything at 60 that he could do at 30 if he could just remember what he did". Ride safe all

Just turned 62 in May, only feel like it when I tool out of bed...aches and pains from my youth?...
But it's a blessing when we do get out of bed, right?
I've had several toys over the years, well maybe a lot of toys...but I've earned everyone one of them. Some young people today want what us old farts have now, right now...well sonny, work for it. It's like at my work, the FNG's want it all now, without making their bones...sorry kid..again work for it...now I'm NOT saying anyone here has stated any of the above, and some have poked a little fun at us old farts and that's OK, it's all in jest....so don't take that in the wrong way....
I told my three grown sons, you can have my money or my toys...they responded that's ok Dad, you got nice toys....
My current rides...
I tell my wife, this is the last one....yeah right

Other than my RoadKing, this is my favorite toy. My daughters' boyfriends/husbands just keep shaking their heads.

Great thread. I'm 57 and still feel like a kid, mentally. Whenever I think about the toys I have compared to the way I grew up I almost can't believe it and I am not wealthy I just work hard and make a decent living. I have more than I deserve and I am blessed and thankful for every day I can enjoy it. I just hope I go out fast, no hanging on wishing I was younger.
