Very true. There's a demographic element too.
As the baby-boomer pig works its way through the python, that segment of the population which can be described as "well-to-do middle-aged posers" is getting smaller and smaller.
Yeah, I’m one of them, though I owned an 83 Honda Magna rather than a harley (because harleys cannot handle and they cost more than $1500).
But my daughter and her husband in SD are huge harley fans, as is my internal client (she’s abot 35), who got the bug from her boomer dad.
I prefer something smoother and may be going for something like a Shadow when we get settled in Kentucky.
