RE: Do your sons/daughters want Harleys?
My son is still in college,but he would love to have his own.I thought about getting him one for graduation but I have mixed feelings about it.He doesn't ride yet so a safety course would be a must. I'll have to give it some more thought.

My 18 year old son is riding an old Shadow right now until he can afford somthing better. He really wants a Buell but he was with me at the dealer the other day and fell in love with a blue Cross Bones. So maybe there is still hope.

My son's 12 and has been ridin with me since he was 8...not so much in the last year or so tho. All he seems to be interested in right now is a four-wheeler ATV. We're gonna go out and take a look-see at some of those this weekend. When he does ride with me, he loves it...and he drools over the Nightster at the local dealer...so, I'm figgerin he'll be on one sooner or later. I believe he thinks it'll be easier to learn to ride on four wheels...but I told him nuttin he learns on that will apply to a bike...but he IS 12 now, and therefore, knows way more than his old man...ya know, like we did when we were 12. hehe I know my old man is just lovin this **** right now. BWAHAHAA!

My 20 year old daughter wants to learn to ride. She likes sportbikes and has nointerest in Harleys. Attracting younger riders to replace aging baby boomers is one of theMoCo's challenges going forward. Buell is moving in the right direction, but they won't make a dent in this segment until they get intoAMA or MotoGPracing. As the saying goes, whatever wins on Sunday sells on Monday.

Our married 26 year old is laying dibs on mom's new heritage. He would love to have one, but with a house payment just not the right time. Wife and I said if a good used bike comes along, we just might help me out. We had thought about keeping the sporty, but he really didn't like it

My dads son(me)started out on a sport bike. I bought a harley last year and have both. I ride and love both equally. My dad, myself, and my brother all ride together, we all ride have harleys. Its not that the younger generation isn't attracted to harleys, they just can't afford them.
