I remember being in a town on business about 10 years ago the same weekend they were having a regional motorcycle rally. The average age of the guys on Harleys looked to be north of 65. That would put that crowd in their 70s now.

A few weeks back I went to an estate sale of a unique guy here in Reno. He had some of about everything including two Harley’s. One a shovel head and one pan head. The heirs had told the auctioneer that they wanted over $5k each for these basket cases. No sale. I gave an opening bid of $500 for the pan head and it ran to $800 and stalled. No sale on either bike. Yea the market is saturated.

There ya go, they ran out of accountants and lawyers to buy their $25,000+ bikes...

My first Harley cost me 1200 bucks. What a farce.

Boomers bought them 15 - 20 years ago. No our backs have had it and can't stand the strain.
