So....aren't you able to admit that you are a poser too?
And what kind of statement is that, "a lay is a lay"? You must not get must decent a$$, old man.
Your signature line show's that you are into looking for hidden treasure. I'd get back to playing with your metal detector looking for "pirate's booty".
I get it....you like guys, don't you?

I always wanted a harley growing up.
All my cousins & friends took the el-cheepo route & bought rubber band rice rockets.
Not me. I wanted the real deal.
Bought the first bike I ever owned last year. 03 Heritage. I had just turned 31! It was a birthday present to myself.
Went to a family reunion this summer & ran into my cousin who has 3 or 4 kids now.
He was wearing a Harley shirt. I asked him what he rides these days..
He said a rubber band rice rocket 650 something or other.
To each their own.
Get what YOU want.. not what YOUR friends think is cool.
Ride safe!

I bought my first bike brand new for $3,400. It was a 1981 Honda CB750-4. That thing would tote the mail! I'm still on a Honda, because I like performance and handling at a reasonable price. Everyone talks about how you don't need all that power. Well, all that power and excellent brakes and "flickability" can save your butt. I don't care what you guys say, if HD doesn't come up with some performance, they will never "hook" the young crowd. All you old farts can't live forever and keep buying ancient technology.

I feel that the younger generations aren't mature enough. They are into the sport bikes for speed and stunts. im into laid back cruising... but dont get me wrong, my bikes fast enough and moves when needed

I'm 22 and own a Road King (Pictured below). I bought my first bike (a honda cruiser) at 18 and bought my Harley this year when I started working for them. I wouldn't say that I would not buy a sport bike, but it definitely won't be my daily rider. Contrary to your beliefs, H-D is dumping more money into the Black, Hispanic, Women, and Younger market than ever before. The whole idea of the "Dark Customs" lineup is geared toward the younger crowd. As many have said, It appears that money is always an issue and when a kid is presented with a chance to buy a bike that will go fast vs. one with style, they typically want speed. Even I can honestly say that if I hadn't had a 10K budget, I might have ended up on a sport bike myself simply because of the dollar for power. Also, most younger people aren't into actually riding, they're into cruising the town, 20 miles at a time, therefore a sport bike is appealing. With the demographic of a normal Harley buyer being somewhere in the mid 30's with an average household income of around $90k, I think it' obvious why the younger biker has excluded up to now.
