How many people are young HD riders? and I'm not talking how old you ACT!

there doesn't seem to be a large population of young riders(I'm 30), hence I ride solo typically. I also get a kick out of baggers although I ride a fatboy.
Well I'm 39, but the two guys I ride with all the time are in their late twenties. Fun to watch the young guys chasing tail etc. Makes me laugh and very glad I don't have to do that anymore. Makes me tired just watching them![\\]

I was 23 when I bought my first Harley (07 Street bob)&nbsp\\; I am 24 now, 25 in a few weeks.&nbsp\\; I do own my own house, contribute to my 401k and still save.&nbsp\\; I wouldn't of bought one if I was going to strap myself.&nbsp\\; I have always been a great saver, but I like to spend too.&nbsp\\; I also own a 07 GMC&nbsp\\;Sierra, kfx400 (4-wheeler), and a zx6r (Street bike) but that is only used on the track.&nbsp\\; I like my toys!!!
