Apparently a lot of people because Google has no shortage of pictures of people touring on naked bikes

yeah, but they didn't grow up in the '60s and '70s, and aren't going to be trying to live out an Easy Rider fantasy.

getting older doesn't mean they'll want to buy the same kinds of bikes.

Thread like this is more of someone pushing an agenda . Motley fool publishes the sky is falling for about HD often, has been for years. Of course they lost their *** in Polaris/Victory now hope to get some of it back with Indian. Not like HD is going away.

With all of us old farts around you make it sound like Harley should have stayed in the "Golf Cart" business...................

It's easy for Indian to post a double digit increase in sales when they sell a fraction of the bikes Harley sells

And lately I've been really wanting a Buell Ulysses. Lighter bike for an old fart and would be really nice to travel around the Forest service/logging roads up here.
