    Hi Pizzlin, bought a 98cc villiers at age 12 and a 93xlh at age 50 this year. Many years of british, italian and jap bikes (Some still owned), but the first harley was worth waiting 50 years for! Ps the pushies are always a favorite! Regards Matt

    i,m 51 and been riding all my life either pushies horses or bikes. My first bike that i actually paid for was a harley, 125cc scrambler and now i,m 51 i finally got another lol. I had a few years off when on the farm but had trail bikes to ride around on there and an old sr500 to take out of the shed once in awhile when i had the time, loved that old bike because it was simple (like me lol) kick it to start and of you go. Raced motocross, enduros and a little road racing and a LOT of street racing, broke a few bones and really stuffed my knees from falling off and kick starting cold high comp engines so i have the bikers limp now and am proud of it! Love the road and love my bike, all i need to turn it on is a key and when i have had my fun i put her to bed and enjoy a quiet beer without the nagging haha. Stay safe boys and girls.
