39y/o
3rd HD
8th bike

Got two "youngbloods" that I ride w/ 23y/o with aWide-Glide and 24y/o with Nighttrain
They made a choice?? Car payment or bike payment..I think they made the right choice personally...

29 (Still not thirty and hanging on by a thread). Bought mine used as a 29th birthday present. Plan is to ride for a year and get a new(er) bike, but I really love the one I have now and don't see any reason to get rid of it. Seems like they all still have two wheels just like mine and from all the "Stealership" stuff I read, I don't want to get screwed.

I'm 20, wanted a bike but didn't want a crotch rocket, becuase I don't trust myself on those things, not to mention everyone my age has one and I like to be different.Couldn't be happierwith my decision, definately hard to find younger hd riders out thereso I ride with some friends on rice burners mostly

24 years young on a Rocker C. This is my first Harley and second bike. Like every one else has said I ride by myself most of the time and when I can I ride with my father. He rides a 07 Heritage ST.

I'm impressed by the numbers of 20 somethings riding harley's. I certainly couldn't afford one in my early 20s. I looked at getting a dyna once, but I decided to wait until I could get what I wanted. I question(not in a bad way way) how much debt you guys are in. Do you own a house, or are saving for one? paying off college loans? Credit card debt?

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.
I am 36, and I am young. And if you say otherwise, I'll beat you with my cane!

OK, maybe I should be more politcally correct and say "less than harley's demographic age range" instead of young. [8D]
