I’m seeing a LOT more fixed gear bikes around here. Example, I just went to a SFBooty show (they suck btw) and there had to be at least 10 fixies parked outside.

Personally I think old (as in 50’s and 60’s boomers) is the new young! I see plenty of kids screaming down the freeway on crotch-rockets they have standing up on one wheel. If it’s up to me, I prefer the old ways…rebellious and hip as hell on the hog!

Young guys don’t buy Harleys, but they are buying lots of sport bikes. Crotch-rockets are too uncomfortable to ride very far so you almost never see them on the Interstate. I think they are a significant part of youth culture. Motorcycles have killed way more young Marines than have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. The danger thing is very real and it appeals to risk takers. These dudes claim “chicks dig scars”.

I’m old and have lots of scars so I know better, but I work with lots of twenty-somethings who believe all kinds of lifestyle BS. Tattoos (artificial scars) – yuck!

Motorcycles are healthy, at least it’s a distraction to banging the 24 year old intern at work then being held for blackmail for being stupid about it.

Motorcycles are a threat to women of a certain age no doubt, they represent freedom, power and self determination. Regardless of some actor in some film in Hollister (who never was a biker), or some junkie 1 percenter racist gang member.

If your man suddenly wants to rekindle his wild oats by purchasing a bike just like his Triumph from ‘72, then let him, smile, and appreciate that something gets his thing moving again.
