52.5 years old, '09 Electra Glide Ultra Classic Vivid Black.
Had shoulder surgery on October 21. Started getting depressed about October 28. Fixed depression by trading in VStar 1100 for first Harley on October 31. Can't ride new Harley until probably around December 15. Hope I don't get depressed again!!!!!!

I was 15 and it was a '73 Sportster (basket case).

By the time I got my license, I actually had it running-lol.

I seriously loved that bike. It ran great. My wife started riding more and more so we got the Wide Glide.

That is one cool ride but must have been a little rough being a hard tail. I'm sure you turned a few heads after you built that one.
