Are we Trike riders, in particular, a dying breed? Harley sales are down, way down, at least in the USA. New Wings aren't selling well in some markets. Motorcycle registration numbers are down nationally. Rumors say some of the conversion companies are having issues with staying in business. All these statements based on recent articles I've read in business journals. Younger generation are into other toys other than motorcycles. Electric motorcycles are coming into production to appeal to younger riders. My sister has a 2014 Wing with a CSC kit for sale for over a year without a nibble. GWRRA numbers, at least in my chapter are down and members are much older than the general population. I think we've got maybe 2 members under 50. My Harley friends tell me that local HOG numbers are down. Are we motorcyclists and Trike rider in particular a dying breed? Interesting to read members of this site's comments. Thanks in advance for everyone's comments.
