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.”

What happens if they build new bikes?

What is their lifestyle?

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?

Conservative old men who haven’t seen a movie since Dennis Hopper stopped being a leading Hollywood draw.

What is their product?

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.

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

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

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

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

Have you ever dealt with a Christian narcissist?

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.

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

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

How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

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

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.”

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.

Why do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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.

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

Should I believe JD Vance's claim that Tim Walz lied about needing medical intervention to get pregnant?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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.

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

How does someone start doing urban exploration?
