Default H-D Riders Age 72?

Read in ten years the average Harley rider will be 72 years old? Hope I'm around.

So the average age now is 62? I am well below that, in fact I'm half that. Can't wait for all the garage queens for cheap in 10 years.

I saw a guy with his dad at the dealership recently. His dad was 92 and still rides. His dad had an 07' Fatboy. I've seen a few senior cagers that shouldn't even be near a road or highway, but this guy was very cool and certainly seemed quite capable.

I'm not selling mine in ten years, I'll only be 75.

Bull! Whoever wrote that needs a better crystal ball. I'm 66 but don't look a day over 65.
