Average buyer went from 35 years old in 1987 to
45 years old in 2000. But that's true for lots of things
because they are the people with MONEY.

Not sure about the above 'fact', but if it's true, then it's not
the money, it's the same people. They were 35 years old
in 1987, and 13 years later in 2000 they were 48 years
old. That's one reason, I believe, Harley has went with
the V-Rod. It is aimed at the younger generation, 20-35.
I may be getting old(er), I just turned 50 in November, but
I'll tell you, I don't feel any older (maybe a bit wiser) than
I did when I was 25. Still gawk at the same age girls (25)
and like the same things that I did back then. Sometimes
a few aches and pains are there to remind me that I'm not
the same dude as back then, but then, I think I appreciate
the everyday ride much more than I use to as I know that
someday it will end.
You guys just gave me an idea...an ole geezers thread where
we can tell BS stories....can start if off with stuff like when I was
25, I thought 40 was the end of the line. Now that I'm 'on the hump'
I look at NASCAR's Dick Trickle who is 60 and wonder if his name
has any truth in it!
