Took me 28 years to get a Harley.  Everyone asks me "I thought you were
never gonna get a Harley, why all of a sudden change?".  It happened to be
the style of bike I wanted at the time.  I wanted a touring bike, didn't
like the GoldWing or the Voyager, wanted a real fairing, not just a
windshield, so that put out a lot of others such as the Vulcan Nomad. 
When it was all over, it was either a Road Glide or an Electra Glide
(Standard, Classic, or Ultra).
