Most of the old Harley crowd doesn't even ride anymore. That's why, more than ever craigslist is overcrowded with used Harleys that aren't selling. I've been been combing craigslist for bikes ever since craigslist was a thing. There are Harleys there that have been posted 5 years or more.

It's not looking good for Harley. I give them 10 years and they will be gone (or at least 10% of their current size, unless they make a drastic change. They need to be more like Triumph and come out with some standards that actually ride well and perform well. They need to lose the Stigma and the bad guy image that was pushed hard in the 70's.
