That is what I thought, which is why I was a bit confused when JustPassinThru refered to "when motorcycles moved from being transportation to recreation...". My impression when visiting the US on a number of occasions has been that it has always been a car culture and bikes are just "for fun". Certainly here in Europe they are much more a transportation device, something that can be seen in pretty much any major city in Europe south of Scandinavia.
