Hi, I'am an old biker (67), have had lots of bikes including three Harleys. Now I ride a BMW K1300GT in which I traveled 80000km. I'm falling in love with an Electra Ultra Classic, but although I' am in good physical shape, are a little intimidated by the size of the bike. I love to do long trips through Europe with passenger and luggage. I don't want to make a bad choice and would be grateful to anyone who could give me some advice.
Beg your pardon for my poor English.
Thanks, Lucio.

Your English is fine. Plenty of older riders on Ultras. if you're in pretty good shape, it shouldn't be a problem.
