Same here. Used to own a ton of crotch rockets back in the day. Got pulled over in Utah rolling around 175. Decided it was time to sell and chill a bit. Chilled for over 20 years during which time I picked up skydiving. Awesome sport, but that too has passed. As of about 1 1/2 weeks ago, my wife gave me the okay to purchase a Harley. Looked at a ton of them and ended up with a '96 Wide Glide with under 16k with a ton of extras. Don't know why I waited so long. I'll post up pics soon. Fell in love with it the minute I saw it.

Same boat here .Still have the old 82 wing and the Valkyrie in the garage. They still get to putt around a bit depending on the day. Got the road king to ride solo and the Triglide that mama will ride on the back of. I think I love Harley's but then again I love my old friends too!
