In Omaha, NE it seems like Harleys outnumber other bikes by about 1.5 to 1.

Out here in the boondocks where I'm cruising around most frequently (Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas border area) it appears that Harley's outnumber other bikes by a wide margin.

But then again, it's really hard to tell.

Most of the people that I'm around and associate with are Harley riders, so I don't pay that much attention to other bikes that might be out there on the roads.

But it does seem that when riding in larger metropolitan areas you see more and more younger guys (and gals) on sportbikes of various flavors.

Dallas, when you get a minute, could you please break it down by make, model, year, motor size and color...........and we'd appreciate having it done on one of those fancy pie charts

Sorry I read this this morning and took notice while I was out on my lunch break. One hour in Sioux Falls, SD and I saw 17 crotch rockets, Yes I'm bored at work [8D]

round here, there are about fifty motorcycles of various kinds in the parking area behind my office. a couple less in the winter, a few more in the summer. not one harley though. later in the season when its warmer and for a long period we see a couple.

lots of dual sports, scooter, standards, race bikes, a few ratbikes, and some cruisers. dont know why so few harleys though. on the weekend we have great packs of them doing parade riding.

Around here it is more like 75% Harley, 15% Honda/Kawasaki cruisers, and 10% sport bikes. We might just be more affluent than some areas, lots of retired farts like me who can afford a Harley.[8D]
