The members of
the HSTA are a diverse group in many ways, but show considerable
solidarity in others. The information presented here, extracted from a
nationwide survey conducted in 2001, provides some insight into who we
are and what we do.
At the time of the survey, total membership was approximately 2,400.
With nearly 800 respondents, the data would appear to be statistically
valid. So we'll go out on a limb and state that the average HSTA'er had
been a member for 5 years and change, had over 20 years of riding
experience, and at the time owned 2.65 bikes (hmm...). More than
two-thirds of us belonged to no other motorcycling organization. Of
those who do, the majority are AMA members, with HRCA as runner-up.
