I got my first Harley in 1976 and I was 24. It was a Sportster. My second one was a 1977 Superglide. Never could get the lifters to work right on that one.

I was 20 in 1975. Bought my first HD then. FXE super glide. cost $3100. Dont seem like much now but that was still more $$ than a Ford pick up truck back then. Before that I had a Honda 750 in high school. After the FXE i had a 56 K model. A 1979 Low rider. A 1969 Sportster. Another 1975 Super Glide. A 2005 Softail Deluxe. A 2010 Ultra . Had my mc lisc. at age 14. I am 55 now. Had a mini bike at 11. Learned to change gears on a Honda 90 when I was 11 or 12.

Lets see, I just turned 52 last week and still own my first harley I bought 30 years ago, a 1967 Electra Glide.( See sig. pic.) So I guess I was 21 or 22 when I bought it for $1600 and I rode it home. I've owned at least 15 Harleys over the years but always managed to hold on to that first one!
