I was in the same boat. Got mine at 23 and there were no other young HD riders to be found and most of the young chicks only seemed to be interested crotch rockets. I was disappointed on that end, but I had been lusting after Harleys since I was a teenager. Now I see younger guys riding Harleys all the time. The late model sportsters have really hit the mark with that crowd on style and price.

I'm 30 now, but I got my first Harley when I was about 25ish. Now I have a couple, but nothing younger than me!

Yep, I was 28 when I bought a 1998 Sportster 883 Hugger. Kept it for 10 years and then bought a Heritage.
