I'll play! I'm 54, 6'2" and just dropped 60 lbs from 280 to 220. Weight isn't the issue. 22 years and >10,000 of helicopter flight time is. A little arthritis in my lower back but with my 2013 Road Glide ultra, Heated OEM Hammock seat, and adjustable Kuryachen long rider pegs on the crash bar, I'm still good for 10-12 hour days. The Roadie has really extended my range and comfort. Tankful to tankful with a meal break every second fill up and minimal stretching, and I can go all day and night. The Gaads wind management and a 14" OEM windshield really help as well. Only thing I'm considering now are the Sancho wings to finish it off.

one more thing to consider if you're over 50 and doing more than one long day in a row. Increase your fiber intake! Be it salads, flax seed or the drinkable kind. a nice comfortable throne session every day sure beats the painful one 3-4 days later! May be a gross topic but those of us who know, don't want to EVER experience that again!
