Default Biker's choice?

Okay, I know you're out there, the torch bearers of the old brand of biker. Riders that just don't pass as bikers but ARE bikers. I'm not refering to the original gray beards that struck fear into my heart when I was a young pup, but you younger riders that are keeping up the -born to raise hell tradition (along with reading to the blind on Tuesdays). What is your bike of choice? I've questioned of few of the old timers where I work and "back in the day" it was Sporters, E-Glides, BSAs, Triumphs, Nortons etc, all chopped to suit of course. Now, with all of the HD models, I'm wondering which one(s) are the younger biker's choice.

Well, I am 30 and have a '82 Honda cb900 that I've had since 15 and have a 76 FX that I fixed up. Oh, I also have my '05 E-Glide that I mostly ride. I guess I don't look like the traditional "biker" since I always wear my tourmaster pants and jacket and full face no matter what I ride, but at least I work on all my vehicles myself. No offense to people that don't wrench on their own. It's just something I enjoy to do. If I didn't I would just pay someone.
