[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1392313, member: 13519"] The only part of motorcycling that is failing is the "Chopper Phenomena." It hit hard and fast a few years back, and is dying even quicker. I know a guy that owned a chopper shop. He currently has 7 or 8 choppers that were selling for $50 or $60k during the heyday, rotting in a storage unit. Now, he'd be lucky to get $25k, and they're zero mile, beautiful bikes. He offered Alex and I two of them for around $20k a few years ago. Not my style, so we didn't jump, but it's a sad sign of where that segment is headed. Fortunately for us, people are currently into Sport Touring, ADV riding, retro-type bikes, small commuters and dirt. The HD types with tons of money and a dying loyalty are aging out. They won't disappear, but they will become smaller. It is what it is! [/QUOTE]
