RE: Grey Beards and Electra Glides...
57 years old, been riding for 42+ years, have had almost all of them. Started on a Honday 350, then all the Brit bikes, BSA 650 Lightning, Triumph Trophy 650, Norton 750 Commando, then H-D ever since. Sportsters (2), Dyna Low Rider Convertible, and I've been on Electra Glides since '96 (3 Classics, 1 Ultra). Currently on an '06 Classic in Black Cherry, probably the prettiest bike I've ever had.
You couldn't pry me off of a bagger- a nice wide leather seat for my ever-widening ***, tunes when I want them, and plenty of luggage room. I've ridden Electra Glides all over the country and they've never let me down.

28 FIRST HARLEY IS A 2006 SG. I love it. My only fear is that I'm destined to die young. Seems I've already had my midlife crisis. I bought a 2001 Z06 corvette last year. Sold my '69 mustang to buy the harley.
Guess I'll be gone about 50-55 years old.

I was on an 8 hour ride with some friends today and during a lunch break I mentioned that my next bike will be an Ultra Classic Electra Glide. One of the gals in the group said that I was "too young" to ride "one of those". I laughed at the comment and asked her how old you had to be to ride one? She said to wait until I'm 60 and have a grey beard! Well, I'm 45 years old and would have a grey beard, if I could grow a full one without any bald patches, so maybe I would pass part of the qualification.
My question is, and forgive me for even asking, how old are the riders of Electra Glides on this site? I'd love to prove her wrong, as I don't believe you have to be any particular age to ride one. I think they're awesome bikes, and besides, 60 years of age is still pretty young, in my opinion!
