I realize I have to make this decision myself, but I just wanted some opinions.

Like a lot of people I was in the military, got out, got married. Bought a house, car payments, divorce. Child support, laid off from a few jobs along the way. Married again, bought another house. Finally financially stable.

I have wanted a HD all my adult life, but it was just something that I couldn't afford. Now after working 45 years I am retired, 64 years old and I can finally afford to walk in the door and just buy one. However having never ridden I don't know if it is to late to start. There is an MSF class close that I will take. I think after taking that I should know if I want to continue on or just forget the entire thing. If I get something I want a new bagger.

Anybody else start riding later in life?
Opinions, suggestions?

Welcome from Florida, bagger is definetly the way to go.

 

Hi Dan,
Go for it man, your never too old, the bike I just bought was from a guy who was 70 and was looking to replace it with another bike. Taking a class will help I'm sure.
