Funny thing ... we almost sold the Heritage Softail with the idea I would buy the “geezer” Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic. That way the two of us could ride in “geezer” comfort.
But alas ... at age 54 I still have issues ...in my mind the Ultra is an old fart’s scooter. (pass the viagra,Vern. Or is it metamucil?... I get the two mixed up .... can’t tell if I’m coming or going)
But I digress. The dealer convinced us to let child bride ride the softail (11,00 miles), and I could push the old man image aside and take the Road King instead and we would live in happily married HOG bliss for the rest of our life. Very Very Very Smart Dealer.
She now wants the new Screaming Eagle Springer.
Oh dear, I'm 56... but nowhere near reaching "geezer" status yet. I played rock-n-roll guitar with my bar band Sat night for 3 hours (and loaded/unloaded/setup/drove without help), stacked cordwood during the day before and day after, and still got in a half-hour ride at the end. A little stiff and sore, though, to be sure... ain't 25 any more. But "geezer" is still held off for a few more years.

Yeah, I do hear that. ;-)
Enjoy the rides -- sounds like you and child bride are doing just fine! Now if I could just convince my better half to keep riding... but our daughter loves to go riding, so it'll all work out okay.
