Both styles of HD fairing are ugly as **** now, the "shark nose" (frame mounted like that Road Glide) just started out that way and got worse over time.

My C90T came with this big bat wing thing. I rode it for 40m, the head bobble was BRUTAL, and I unbolted it.
Why I love my Fat Bob so much. No fairing. Straight wind.

Damn, and just when you thought Harleys couldn't get any gayer they start screaming hold my beer......
$145k asking price and in 5 years it will be worth next to nothing like every other Harley. Their market is dying and isn't ever going come back, and **** like this is the reason why.

ehhhhh, still holding their value more than most bikes. the entire market has come to a grinding halt, but in relation to, they are not.

Harley isn't going anywhere. Still see more on the road around here than any other bike.
I guess i haven't thought about this/ paid attention to it, but it just dawned on me almost nobody rides motorcycles anymore.
The bike parking areas at work are virtually empty all summer. Maybe 1-3 bikes at the front, 1-2 at back. From mid 90's-2020 there would be 10-20 bikes in each spot every day. Bikes all over town in various form... now its rare to see one.
I quit riding in 2019, and I guess haven't noticed. What happened?

Dude. You want to buy a bike, now is the time. Market (used) is dead.I guess i haven't thought about this/ paid attention to it, but it just dawned on me almost nobody rides motorcycles anymore.

No idea what happened. 50mpg, cheap, fun, and plentiful. I dont get it either.
Has to be to be the cheapest motorsport out there. I could buy two running used bikes for what I have in my simulator alone.

Yea, no doubt. Damn i guess I've been in a cave the last 5 years. Sitting here thinking- I bet there's less than 10% bikes on the road now vs 10yrs ago. Ive walked right passed the nearly empty bike parking areas at work every day and never gave it any thought.

I quit riding after almost getting hit several times in a row. all the idiots from cali started moving in around here and its dangerous everywhere now, even in a regular vehicle.
but ever since covid, you hardly see bikes anymore, and definitely not large groups riding like they used to.

Exactly. People stopped daily driving them. Now they drive them like classic cars. Weekend cruises and an occasional trip to the grocery store only.

If anything id say I see at least the normal amount, if not more around here.
Harleys for sure, but street bikes are gaining in popularity.
We normally have 4-8 bikes in our parking lot any given day, weather dependant.
If we're in Milwaukee after dark there's a 100% chance of having a few do 120mph+ fly-bys down the highway.
