[QUOTE="BakerBoy, post: 1392435, member: 87581"] No, not the end. IMO there are simply more and more things pulling at us all (good and bad), including aging/demographics, adding up to a decline in motorcycling (which is not a foretelling of the [I]end[/I] of motorcycling). How many of us are increasing our riding lately (as in recent years vs. prior years)? Based on my own experience as well as reading other's comments about riding on forums, anecdotally it seems to me there's general declining use of existing motorcycles (and declining frequency of replacing or adding a motorcycle)--I believe that is true even for those of us who are considered regular motorcyclists. Naturally some portion of the larger motorcycling community is likely increasing their riding frequency. But I deduce the count of those declining exceeds those that are increasing use of motorcycles. And that's ok. I live near a highway out of Golden where on weekends there's a continuous noise stream from loud cruisers... I'm completely good with that reducing! [/QUOTE]
