<- 23

The Uly is perfect for my riding style 99% of the time. The X1 is pure hooliganism for the other 1% ; )

It ain't the years...it's the miles.

And the titanium doesn't help.

But...gonna be 39 years next month. Been on Buells for 12 years.

Still gettin' yelled at because my music's too loud, because I ride (and drive) "too fast" (whatever that means), and because I may be growing old...but I flat-out REFUSE to grow UP.

Now go away kid, ya boddah me...

48 for the last 4 weeks........ Been lusting after Uly's for 2 years, finally bought an '05 Lightning in November. First thought...... "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!!!???". Had to get the Uly in February to share the experience (& take longer trips). Got about 20k miles combined since then.

51 years old with a 08 XT. I have been riding motorcycles since I was a little kid. I've even had 2 brand new Gold Wings which were very nice but the Uly is much more fun to ride than any bike I have ever owned. Thanks.

There is definitely something very special about Uly's that bond us all. Very cool.

50 now, kept the Road King cause I love her dearly, but wanted something faster. So in 2007 (47 years old then) got the Uly and now have a second beloved bike.

As luck would have it - the guy that prints our real estate signs, also does T-shirts.

I thought a play on this classic logo might be funny.

Maybe put 'Old Farts Club' inside, instead of the big 'S'.

Photoshop? Anyone?

Given the moniker "Old Fart," I think a logo with a picture of a fart would be appropriate. Anyone have a pic of that?

10. You've started shaving your ears
9. Walking the mall strangely seems like a good idea
8. You start your conversations with; "young people today..."

1.Although you are full of gas and you pass it's odoriferi frequently, you seldom fart, and are more likely to SHART. "Debris clean up - isle one!" "bring a shovel.....its a bad one!"

5.You accidentally mention out loud that you now know why nature takes your up close vision in your later years, while making love to your wife with your glasses on.....and.....it does not really matter to you when she gets up and leaves the room.

I guess I am in..... 58 in August. BTW, Hello everyone, I am just returning to Buell. I had an ST3 for a while and get lots of seat time on Blasts (that's another story). I have ridden a friends 06 Ulysses and got hooked. In my old age I just feel a need to ride more aggressively than my 08 Road Glide allows. I am picking up an 08 XB12X this week. I have done my homework. In fact I work at a H.D. dealership (in a way) and also for the Motor Company (not directly). Everything has been done to this 08, rear wheel, comfort kit, all recalls, Buell (H&B) hard bags, Palmer bracket, etc. I have also gotten a wealth of information from this forum and was directed here by the seller, a very nice guy. Hello and Thanks.

Ok. That does it. I can't stand it anymore and want to be a member too! Do I qualify @ 63? I'll be 63 in another week and figure if you're referring to "old farts" then surely I must qualify too. I've been riding "something" since jr. high and have had my Uly since it was new in July 08.

3. 69 refers to lots of candles, not a position.
