The local paper ran what was probably a nat'l. release story today on Harley & transitions. It said the avg, age of us was 47 (oh, I freaking wish!)... while the average age rider of otherbrands is 38. Surprised the avg. age of the others is that high?!

Article had the same old drivel about Wall Street wringing their hands wondering if the MoCo can deal with that advanced age thing. Unless I've missed something here, we keep producing more and more47 year olds.

 

and all along I've been thinking I was an average sort of guy.
But since I'm older, I guess I'm above average Now lol

Not surprising considering the price of a new Harley. The models in the H-D motor clothes catalog aren't spring chickens either.

 

So at 56 does that make me; way above average, or just above average??? and to think I graduated in the bottem 10% of my class!!!

 

woohoo..at 44 I'm under the average age...no wonder I ride a mean lean Sporty machine - maybeI should trade for the V-Rod young fella that I am..

 

When people ask me my age, I tell them. The next question is usually "Where did you grow up?" I tell them, I'll let them know when it happens!

 

hmm....I'm below average. Based on when I bought my bike I should have bought metric?!?[:'(] Rather be below average I think.

 

Harley clearly targets the boomer generation, those folks who now have the money to live out a 60s/70s 'Easy Rider'/bikergang fantasy. The younger generations, for the most part, want high tech and speed at bargain prices. Their heros are motorcycle racers, not biker gang members. If I cared, I'd say that Harley had better begin to broaden their product line and update their marketing. but it's their company. It's nothing to me if they rise or fall.

 

I'm pretty far below average [&o]
