I agree with every single point you've made. Full disclosure, I do own a 20 year old Sportster 1200. I've upgraded the absolute hell out of it because it's fun and if I'm not hauling people or stuff it's my primary mode of transportation. I rode that sumbitch more last week than a lot of the guys who use it as a masculinity reinforcement device rode last year. I've put more miles on it than I've put on my old ass Goldwing in the last year and I take the latter all around the country.

The stereotypical Harley rider, much like the parking lot princess pickup driver and the guns are my whole personality gun nut, are giving me a bad name. They've gotten most of the money they can out of the bitter old guys because their riding years are coming to a close. What they need to do is suck up a few years of shitty sales (which they could but it would make their stock prices tank) and start building towards those 27 year olds who would currently like to ride. But that won't help them next quarter so we all know that's not happening.
