It's Sportsters for me, sore a$$ or not. I would not own a geezer glide or a fagger bagger, and I wear a$$less chaps and fingerless gloves. I'm a site to see. (This is not to start a war here, just in reply to "over 65 years of age"). Ride safe,enjoy life, do YOUR thing.
I should have just said "Be Old" since not all 67 year olds are old I guess, and some are done by 50...

I am a girl, but everybody that sees my Nightster say, "That's not a girl's bike!"

And, My boyfriend has more fun riding mine than his Night Train. (And, it's quicker. He's jealous.)

Sloptails are for lookin' cool, not riding. Was he surprised? I'm always shocked how many, especially guys, just assume the big V-Twin, because they are big, will be faster... really cracks me up when they thing their 120ci custom will outrun a 600cc four-banger... silly kids.

He wasn't surprised. He predicted it. (smart boy.) But, when he tells people, they don't believe him.

Bigger is not always better, boys!

Nightsters are nice little bikes, and sometimes I put one in a saddlebag when I go to a rally so I can use it for a 'pit bike' once I get there....

Just kiddin' so no need to get defensive or bent out of shape.

Nightsters just aren't my cup of tea, but that is why Harley offers so many different models.

Variety is the spice of life, and that's why I currently own 6 different models.

That's what I like about mine. No need to find parking, just pop it in your pocket and go.
