Road Warrior
Well, the way I see it is, with the new Street Glides and Roadglide Customs, they're not your daddy's Ultras. I believe that's the difference. Hence the younger riders on these types of bikes.
Hell, a Road King for the matter isn't much different (replacing fairing with windshield), and younger guys have been riding those for a long time now.
Generally though, most bikers trade up to a touring bike, hence being a little older in age.
21 is pretty young though, but more power to ya!! If you get weekends off, cruise out to Mountain Springs or down to the Pioneer in Goodsprings, I'll buy ya a beer!
