Why is Harley-Davidson dropping diversity initiatives after the right-wing anti-DEI campaign?

They’re terrified to abandon these guys because they know these guys buy their bikes, at least until they go broke buying Trump shoes and NFTs. Millennials think Harley Davidson is a joke, mainly because Harley Davidson is a joke. Gen Z is like “Harley who? You mean the Joker’s girlfriend? Margot Robbie? Yeah, she’s hot.”

All their existing customers shake their canes and whine about them “selling out.”

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

Why do atheists want to see God so badly?

If Toyota were facing demographics that grim, they’d, you know, change their lineup and try to appeal to new customers.

What happens if they build new bikes?

What is their product?

Is TikTok a creation of the porn industry? To make porn more normalized and accepted? So the porn industry doesn’t lose customers?

This…is not a healthy company with a bright future ahead.

Harley geezers love spreading contempt for smaller, lighter Japanese “rice burners,” after they’ve taken their Geritol and used their walkers to hobble to the front porch for another rousing afternoon of “hey you kids get off my lawn.”

They need new customers or they’re done. Their existing customer base is aging out and, well, dying. Millennials don’t like their motorcycles, but Harley has long been a company that flat-out refuses to change their products to match what people want; they’ve long believed they should make whatever they want to make and people should just buy that.

But Harley is trapped. They’re a lifestyle brand, not a motorcycle company. When you look at them as a lifestyle brand rather than a motorcycle company, a lot of things start to make sense.

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

The Geezer Brigade starts flinging their walkers about and posting angry diatribes on AOL.

Why don't we hear our own snoring?

Harley-Davidson is facing some rather unfortunate demographic realities. If you look at their sales since the 1990s, they’re looking pretty grim:

The demographics for Harley-Davidson are just as grim as their sales figures: the average Harley customer is over 50, and the average age of a registered Harley motorcycle is about 10 years.

What is their lifestyle?

Is it legal for an employer to ask why you are taking time off from work?

So what do you do if your existing customer base of geezers and sycophants hates the idea of you selling to a new demographic? If you’re Harley, you keep selling to the old demographic and hope for a miracle.

Next year, things will turn around. Next year for sure. We just have to hang on until then. Next year.

How severely should I get punished? Please describe throughly. Today I got my result of my test nd I found out that I failed in 2 subjects, my parents are currently in abroad nd I lied to them about the fail but I feel guilty now.

Whenever they try to get new customers, they risk pissing off the dudes who were born to ride Donald Trump, or at least fellate him.

They sell obnoxiously, stupendously overpriced bikes to old white men who wear Donald Trump jackets.

Big noisy eyewateringly expensive machines that make senior citizens feel like it’s still 1962.

Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?
