I’m gonna get real with you, kinda woke up and posted that at 5 am working a job I am really... just not feeling right now, and I would love to work an office job at the moment.

I know they’re soul crushing and dull, but I’d appreciate it now, at least for the structure.

They love Harley Davidson so much that the company got addicted to easy boomer money and marketed exclusively to them so now no one under 50 thinks harleys are cool

Harleys were only ever cool for a brief period and then only by proxy because really it was the outlaw biker gangs that were cool.

It's basically a bunch of nostalgia based around how cool the guys from Easy Rider were, even though the people who buy Harleys now have more in common with the guys who kill the main characters for being free spirits than the main characters themselves. That movie is a big part of what made motorcycles "cool" in the 60s.

You're right about that being the zeitgeist of the era but I'm guessing that your average boomer doesn't remember poo poo like the Glory Stompers and just picture themselves rebelling against the system like a young Peter Fonda zipping down the highway to Steppenwolf. Easy Rider is a perfect storm of Baby Boomer nostalgia poo poo. The look, the music, the actors.

I think these guys are starved for attention too because you can hear them coming from half a mile away. It'd be less annoying if they stood on street corners yelling "EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION ME!". with a megaphone. It's even worse when they have one of those radios like an ice cream truck for old douchebags.

edit: Unless there's some horrible aspect to them that I haven't heard yet, Bikers Against Child Abuse are pretty cool.

In northern California.

They probably paid a ridiculously low amount in property taxes because Boomers in California passed Prop 13. This proposition basically defunded public education in local governments and contributed to the housing crisis.

Here are the reasons why Millennials don't ride motorcycles, and why sales are down:

1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat
2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on
3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while driving
4. They don't get a trophy and recognition plaque just for buying one
5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped
6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and they they would need emergency care
7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning
8. They can't afford one because they spent 12 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available
9. They are allergic to fresh air.
10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
12. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen

I went to see a Rolling Stones Concert a long, long, time ago. I brought the shirt. A couple of dacades later, I am at a indoor trampoline place with my kids, I noticed a group of teenagers, looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. One of them was wearing the exact same original Rolling Stones Concert shirt with the dates on the back. There is no way this kid was at that concert. I'm thinking he borrowed it from his dad's closet, I went up to him and said "Hey, I like your shirt", I showed him a five dollar bill, I said I will give you this 5, if you can name one of their songs in less than 1 minute without any help from anyone or looking it up.. his friends looked at him and he could not name one song. I put the 5 in my pocket, I said, I'm sorry for putting you on the spot. and walked away.

Baby Boomers and the Art of Parenting Adult Kids



"That’s what Linda Stroh found when she and a fellow author surveyed nearly 1,000 baby boomers for their book, “Getting Real about Getting Older.”

“My kids use language like ‘my family’ and ‘our family’ and they don’t mean us,” one man commented. “I’m at the mercy of their whims. We see them when they want, not when we want,” said another. “I miss my kids. I want to be around them more,” one woman said."


When the Boomer parent isn't on-screen, all the other characters should be saying, "Where's Boomer parent?"
