    Unhappy Why mellanials are not buying motorcycles



    1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.
    2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
    3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while driving.
    4. When they stop, a light breeze might blow exhaust in their face.
    5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.
    6. Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.
    7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.
    8. They would have to use leg muscle to back up.
    9. They are allergic to fresh air.
    10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
    11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
    12. It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.
    13. You have to shift manually and use something called a clutch.
    14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.
    15. They don't come with training wheels like their bicycles did.
    16. Motorcycles don't have power steering or power brakes.
    17. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.
    18. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.
    19. They can't afford one because they spent 12 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.
    20. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen.
    21. It might scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would need therapy.
    22. Can't get the motorcycle down the basement stairs of their parent's home.

    Sounds more like gen Z. Millennials are just about 40 now and have grown a pair.

    They are actually discovering the smaller bikes are a game changer! Scooters too.

    Unfortunately, Millennials know all their friends text and drive, so no motorcycles for them.
