RE: Grey Beards and Electra Glides...
53 years and just recently got my 01' Ultra. I used to get teased some about riding my old 84' Goldwing, like retirees bike and old man's ride to name a few. Let 'em talk! You wont regret it.
Whenever I ride, they always complain that they can't go that far without stopping. That would be thier problem. not mine!

Damn, I hate it when I'm right! I've actually been thinking of doing a trade yet this year, because I'm afraid of the changes on the new bikes. I love to go on long cruises, even if I'm by my lonesome. I get home from work and jump on and go until the sun goes down. I'm not a bar-hopper anymore, except on weekend mornings when we occasionally go to a local watering hole to get some cheap breakfast and hang out with other bikers, so most of my riding is on the open road. You folks just made me consider it even more. While I absolutely love my Deluxe, I really love the look of the big rigs. If I don't do it this year, it will definately be sooner rather than later. Thanks for all the replies!

ORIGINAL: Feroce
In three days I will be 60 years young and I like my 2005 EG because it is as fast as the Super Glide and I can carry anything I want. I have a Garmin Quest GPS and it is great. I was in Indiana and only had a Michigan map and I was in an unknown area and wanted to go to the Harley dealer and knew the address so I used the quest to talk over the speakers to tell me where to go.
Yes, I have a grey beard.
The only thing I can say is get one while you are young and you can enjoy it for a lot longer time than I can.

31 years old here. This is my first bagger, but had been stealing my dads keys since I was 17. Now I finally have my own and will never look back, wish it would have been my first bike at 17 instead of a Sportster.
Just got home from an Iron *** weekend. 1600 miles and 5 states in 2 1/2 days in 90+ heat. Nothing like a Glide!
