Brought to you by... - 27: Harley-Davidson Rides to Live

Harley-Davidson spent more than a century branding its motorcycles as the bikes for rebels and macho cowboys. They’re made in America, for Americans. But Harley’s core customers are aging and before long will die out. Younger generations aren't stepping up to take their place.

But that isn't sitting well with its customer base. PLUS: One listener tells us about the Honda Civic that brought her and her husband together.
