I have to agree with you on the "I should have bought it sooner"

My first Harley was a FLH in '98 and my last one will be as well.
I'm 46 now and had the proper guidance when I started looking into Harley's back then.

I've owned a Softail, Dyna and even a V-Rod but nothing compares IMO to the FLH bikes.

Been riding baggers since I got back from Korea in 1984. I have since become a grey beard. Maybe it was the Ultra that turned mr grey?

53 and love the EGC. wish I bought it sooner.

Remember what the Dead said:

"Whistle through your teeth and spit 'Cause it's all right
Oh well, a touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say
And it's all right"

I love my GeezerGlide. It is my second one. The first one I had for three years. So, at 58 I'm not quite 60. I have one and ride year round. Without my GeezerGlide, it would be pretty tough to ride in the cold and rainy weather that doesn't stop me. Nobody laughs at me when I go on 1,000 mile road trips in February and their bikes are under cover in the garage.

I waited until 48 to part with my 20 yr old Softail. I wonder why I waited so long...
