In a recent article by Rick Barrett of Knight Ridder, baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 are characterized as not being shy about spending money on their bikes, and they plan to ride for decades. That's exactly what the American motorcycle industry wants as the baby boomers' generation pushes the middle-age envelope. David Anders, Merrill Lynch analyst, stated, "Since 1995, US motorcycle registrations have increased from 3.8 million to nearly 6 million at the end of 2004. Baby boomers are in the driver's seat of the current expansion." Next believes this target audience and the their significant purchasing power presents an opportunity to make the American Biker brand a recognized and respected source of quality apparel for the American motorcycle industry.

With his notoriety in the motorcycle community and our ability to generate state of the art graphics and quality apparel offerings, we're hitting the ground at full throttle."
