Hey guys.. I'm 33, and just picked up the "Old Fart Bike" as my wife likes to call it.. I love the Electra Glide series! What a ride.. Had a Yamaha Virago for years.. Never knew I could ride over an hour without a break!!!

As for what I bought.. I got a 1994 Ultra.. It's been modified just the way I like it.. No tour pack, and good chrome! Anyway!! Good luck on the EG!

-NFE

P.S. Sorry for the edit!! And I have had GREY in my beard and hair since I was 27!!!

Tell her to look at what most high end 1% (IE: HA, VAGOS, ETC) groups ride, you guessed it, bagers! I watched a whole group of Vagos pull into a HD shop over Lauflin weekend, all riding Electra Glides.

44 and ride a 2001 Ultra. Bought a 1984 GL1200 Goldwing when I was 35, and owned a 1976 GL1000 when I was 18, The 1000 was before bags were on Wings, but I put on the Vetters.

I also own a DT250 Yamaha, and at my age I'm the old guy.

Who cares, behind my eyes I'm 18, and the Ultra still makes me feel that way after a 500 mile day!

I has a sportster when I was 38. Got a Tour Glide when I was 39. I'm 54 and I have a 2005 Electra Glide Classic. The Glides have always been more practical for me when going on long extended trips with my wife. She would never go otherwise.

I've already said I am 42 and I ride a FLHTCI but I forgot to say I sold my WideGlide to a 62 year young man with a gray beard so go figure.It was wild to see him ride away on my old ride.

I'm 37 and ride a 2005 FLHTCI (Electra Glide Classic) and LOVE it. I've heard about it being called a Geezer Glide...lol, but I'm far from that side of the barn. It seems to be less than the norm to be under 45 and own a Glide. But i can say this; I get alot of compliments about the bike from little kids to sportbike riders. The kids just love it, in part because around here, they're used to seeing rice rockets.

Age matters not a bit! 57 and counting. Have had lots of grey (gray?) since LONG before I got the Ultra. Want one? Buy one.
