How on earth are people affording these expensive bikes at such young ages? When I was in my younger twenties I was still doing good keeping lights on, the rent and the phone bill paid...and that was when gas was about a buck a gallon! A recession as deep as we got now wasn't barely even conceived of except by those who lived through the Great Depression.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that young people these days have taken an interest in these machines. I'm impressed!

RE: Young touring bike owners
Always loved the road kings, bought mine whenI was 29. My softail buddies joked around with me until our first long ride. Then I was laughing. Form and function. One of the best models in my biased opinion. You can make it what ever you like.... And guess who's bike their girls wanted to ride on the back of halfway through that ride.

I was 35 when I bought my first. I was out yesterday with a buddy who has a sweet Titan and we stop over a friend of his and she is 45 and her girl friend was there who is only 24 and smokin hot they younger one asked for a ride and he said OK and she reply no on the other bike because it was hotter than his custom. This isn't the first time either. He doesn't call them FAGGERS anymore because when we are out riding together most people pick my SG over his Titan as their favorite bike!!!!
