When choosing what our bikes, its all about what we want. Not what someone else thinks we should have..
If Ur so called friends are kidding U, that's one thing, but if they are serious, then U can find new friends or tell them to FO.
They make a lot of bikes that I don't like but I would not tell someone there ride put them in a category, might think it but wouldn't say it to them..
In the 70's and 80's I had 3 CB's750's, with windjammer and bagged out and 3 GW's (1200 was biggest one) between the age of 26-48 maybe I was an old geezer.
Now I know I am.
60 is awful close and WE love our Heritage,
If they quit making them, my next would be either a SG or RK....wife likes the windshield on ours and the rk better..

Im 32 and does not see myself as being that old. I have been told that the bike with the batwing faring and the bike color (red hot sunglo) is pure old guy motorcycle.
Have I bought myself a senior citizen bike????? Have others heard the same about their street glide or other touring bike?

Wisdom is generally associated with "advanced" age. Most people make the assumption that anyone wise enough to ride a Harley Davidson FLH must be at least 50 years old. You, obviously are way ahead of the wisdom curve riding a Street Glide at 32. I was 29 when I bought my first bagger. Two (you and I) individuals obviously wise beyond their years.
And secondly, red hot sunglo is one of the best colors Harley ever painted a bike. There are no old man colors. Just people jealous of a young guy riding such a hot bike.

There are "old men," there are "young men" and there are bikes. There is no such thing as an "old man's" or "young man's" bike. Just alot of people who unfortunately for them are not in a position to own one and feel compelled to demonstrate there frustration by labeling those of us that can.

1st I hope that you have recovered well from the accident.
Most people that go around criticizing others are compensating for their own personal insecurities and voids.
You bought this bike because you wanted it, so unless someone else payed for it they can't say sh...t.
And if you are riding all day while at work, the last thing you want is an uncomfortable bike for you days off. I think you made a great choice and I bet the people that criticize you don't have music on their bikes...ha ha.
Ride safe, ride long.
