https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/out-the-ooze/201507/nothing-says-old-dude-getting-motorcycle Blog with science word in it says that you're old as poo poo if you think riding a Harley Davidson is cool. Its been called cosplay for dads. Its the sort of behavior that associates being cool with getting into fights, drinking to excess, and smoking cigars. Its like a George Thorogood song. At first its like "oh hey this is kinda cool", but the closer you get to it its really just sort of a pathetic cry for help. I'm all for being active into your golden years, but this sort of played out consumerist pseudo tough guy poo poo has got to stop. The shirt and tie during the week/ leather vest every third Sunday is so lame it hurts. You don't get to live a quiet suburban life, make partner as a CPA, and still present as a "tough guy". Its over Gregg. Easy Rider is a great film when taken as a snapshot of the shifting cultural zeitgeist of America in the late 60s. Unfortunately all these knobs have gotten from it that LSD is pretty wild and everyone looks rad on a motorcycle. Peter Fonda looks rad on a motorcycle. You loving don't. Check out this horrifying poo poo: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-motorcycle-for-my-72-year-old-friend I've taken to greeting groups of old motorcycle dudes as "Leather Buddies": i.e.: "Hi guys, you and your leather buddies look so great in your outfits" Try it. Also this isn't an indictment of all motorbike riders. If you use a bike to commute, are a mechanic, beginner, just like bikes, etc. That's awesome and I encourage it and hope you ride safe. If you think spending 40k on a street glide and 5k on leather outfits gives you street cred after retirement you can sit and spin.

All the young hooligans in my city like to wild out on dirtbikes and ATVs. So really it's not so much motorcycles as it is Harleys that is a terminally old thing.

There is nothing wrong with drinking and getting in fights though. Or selling methamphetamine like legit biker gangs. The "50 year old accountant who drives a bike once a month" thing is hilarious though

I'm 44, but I prefer my motorcycles to accelerate, stop, and have decent lean angles like it's 2019. Oh, and also not have a retarded crank pin layout just so it goes "potato potato" and limited power production because it has to be air-cooled because radiators are too ugly for boomers. I've downsized my fleet from 4-2 over the past few years and will never own an HD. So I guess unchopped in the garage and chopped in the sheets for me. Edit: At least in this part of the US, there is a very good correlation between HD riders and ARE FREEDOMS chuds so there's that too.

All my dads buddies have bum knees so they switched to trikes or sidecars, only to discover that they can't tolerate the discomfort of bikes in their old age anyway

Yeah, they're dorks OP. But nothing to get worked up about. You have it right with the cosplay bit. Let them ride their bikes and collect toys for tots. None of them actually make meth or beat up random hookers or anything.

guestimate posted:I need to be educated on the use of "sit and spin" as a derogatory phrase please The Sit N' Spin was a toy manufactured by Kenner in the United States in the late 70s. Here's a commercial for it. "Sit and Spin" in a derogatory sense could be used as loosely as "frig off" or "go to hell". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUek7SGlsCY

Back in middle school “sit an spin” was always accompanied by a middle finger, as an invitation to have the finger shoved up your rear end and you get spun around like a basketball at a Harlem Globetrotters show.

It's genuinely a thing that Harley Davidson is struggling to connect with anyone under the age of 50 right now and they're losing money hand over fist because their only customers now pretty much buy one bike for the last five years of their lives and then die of a heart attack at a nephew's bar league softball game source: i live in milwaukee and like a solid 20% of my lovely redneck relatives used to work for Harley
