Nothing against GW riders-But I've never met one under 60 YO or 300 lbs !

I don't meet the criteria for a GW so I'll stick with the HD.

"The average age of our riders is 60"

"...seminars taking place through Saturday, including CPR"

Perfect!

holding the kind of festival they like best - complete with safety and maintenance seminars and a talent show instead of beer girls and burn-out pits.
This is just another reflection of how our entire country has become politically correct, and green. Some one's sig on here says "the pussification of the American biker is upon us". Well, I say the pussification of America is upon us !

That doesn't count, it only applies to motorcycles.
It sure sounds like a lot of folks on here are threatened by Honda's, because they sure spend all their time talking about them.

I have and I have even met GL1800 riders in their 20's and 30's while going to a state Wing event here in Kentucky; I was riding a Harley. Sure, there are those in the senior citizen class but then again there are those on Harleys that are in that class too. As far as the 300 pounds goes, there are plenty of Harley riders in that weight class too.
