Answer 3

Hey man if you can afford it and can handle horsin around a heavy bike more power to you.

Answer 4

If you want a Harley but the size and weight is of concern, then get a new Sportster.  The rubber mounted engine makes them smooth, they're much lighter than the big bikes and you can still put a clear quick detach windshield on it and throw saddlebags over the back.  

One guy I know is older than you and since his Kawasaki Voyager was getting pretty heavy for him, he just attached a sidecar.  That sidecar might also be a good way to pick up chicks after the bingo game.....

One other thing, if an old timer like you shows up at a bike rally on your Harley (actually any brand bike), people aren't going to give you a hard time but will respect you for your gutsy attitude.  I bet there'll be plenty of people wanting to talk to you.

Answer 5

put a little spirit in your life. 80 is never to young to ride a harley!

Answer 6

Are you sure those geriatric noobs can handle a heavy, powerful Harley?

Answer 7

If you have the urge to buy a Harley Davidson, and the wherewithal, go right ahead. Nobody will say a word, except maybe your old fogy children, and they were going to moan about anything that reduced their expected income upon your death.

Dear kids,

Being of sound mind and body, I spent it!

Love Dad.

Answer 8
