Yep, 47 y/o kids
I love my E-Glide, but 1st and foremost I'm a Sportser "freak". I can tell you that if it pulls you in that hard, resist, and head straight home to your computer. Hit Craigslist and search for a '94-'03 Sportys. They can be had all day for $2500-$3500 in excellent consish, with low miles. I can build you two that will look almost identical....hell, BETTER for what it would cost for one '72 out the door.
Here's my '95 as it sits right now (it's been through 3 changes since Jan '07)
Sorry to get off topic, just blows my mind what the MoCo gets for new "custom" Sportsters.

the glittery red looks really sensitive, almost to the point of ga .. errrr, whatever makes one happy.

I don't know if it's THE ugliest, but that gaudy flake paint sure in the running as far as I'm concerned. Isn't it just a plain old Sportster with a 21" front wheel & high bars? I see on the H-D site that they call it a "radical custom". I'm just not seein' that at all. And I wonder why it isn't available in Vivid Black? Maybe this adds to the radical mistique?
Seriously though, I just can't really imagine an Ultra owner/rider being swayed in any way by that bike.
But that's just me, everybody's different & I respect that.
