I think it varies a bit, I know Kawasaki has the lowest age limit at Americade.  18?  21?

             Next year leave your mother at home and you might get a demo.   Lol    JK, being twice that age, I'm running out of things to laugh about.

Ken - I love this thread - thanks for compiling it again.  

ctbandit - age restrictions vary.  I demo'd Ducatis and MVs at Ferracci in Philly and Triumphs in Freehold, NJ before I was 25.  So did my brother.  When I was at Vintage Days in Ohio last summer 21 was the age to beat.  There were some very young riders.

Nice that you started this thread again, Ken.  

Here is the full Triumph demo truck schedule - http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/11197.aspx

For the Triumph demo truck, they have a 25 year old restriction; however, you may still be able to demo a Triumph if you visit a shop with a demo fleet during another day, when the demo truck isn't there.

Thanks!  The US website doesn't have the full schedule up yet so far as I could tell.  I'll update the post after lunch (mmm, lunch).

The dealership I went to told me to come back and they'd set up a ride on one of their bikes for me. I never did. I don't wanna waste the guys time since I know I won't be purchasing something new for at least a year, likely two.

Oh just go do it, you're not wasting their time, especially if you're a Triumph virgin.  It's why they have demo bikes!  Plus taking out a dealer's demo bike is a lot more fun than being led like cattle on a group demo ride.

I wish the Big 4 would do more rides at dealers instead of lumping everything into Americade and Laconia.
