    Hi Sambo,

    Welcome to the forum.............

    There are plenty of youngsters riding, mainly rice rockets, in thongs T shirt and shorts these days. Some might see the light and progress to HD in the future.

    y would you ride when there must be dozens of playstation games that will provide them with their level of reality, and they can listen to their ipod and text at the same time.

    Ease up guys, and FYI, we prefer the term "Millennials".
    hahaha, not really, Just a term I read on Wikipedia while checking to make sure I qualify, and I do, by one year.

    So the answer is yes, quite a few of us ride, and some of us ride real bikes, infact, the best Harley Mechanic (and rider) I know is a fellow Millennial.
    So fuck all that Auto drive-Ipod-playstation-Latte Bullshit.
    Gimme my swag as a backrest, some homebrew in the "Eskys" (aka the hard bags on the Roadking), plenty of road, and some brothers (and/or sisters) to ride with. Any Day.

    I reckon you old timers just wish you still had the stamina to keep up with us in a drinking session.

    I'm 29. I think truth is (my opinion only) they;

    a) don't appreciate or understand what a H.D is about.
    b) they are intimidated by the weight & size of H.D's
    c) there mates will bag em' as they are all into boy racer style bikes, and lets face it, the power to weight and boy racer factor they get for 11,990 out of a bright green Ninja is going to do it for em' over shelling out $30,000 on a 280kg Dyna.
    d) your addidas tracksuit and nike shox are always going to look better on a Suzuki than on a Milwaukee
    e) when your goal is to race your cousin of the lights on parramatta road and he's got a fully sick skyline or wrx with a dual pop off valve your Roadking with shark fin exhuast just does'nt fit in.
