The moco is trying to draw them in with the Nightser, Rocker etc. the real suprise that most them ride the traditional models. We are cool after all. I am not young by the way. I just look young for my age and act it way to often.

I just turned 26 a couple weeks ago. I've had my bike for almost exactly three years because I bought it for my 23rd birthday. I could have had a bike earlier than that, but I waited until I could afford a Harley. I do find it difficult sometimes to find guys my age to ride with that aren't just on rockets (not that I won't ride with them too sometimes). I finally found a club that was all young guys and mainly cruisers. They invited me to prospect. They work on the bikes a lottogether and I love that, but there are acouple of he youngest ones (one somehow was the VP)that think they are Mad Max and their girlfriends instigate **** too. I was the biggest guy in the group and I could see where that would get me pretty quickly. I was gonna get to clean up all of their little fights for them and their 19 year old girlfriends. No thanks. Major disappointment for me...

I'm 35 and this is my third Harley(probably around my 25th motorcycle). I'm definitely one of the younger people at the HOG meetings.
