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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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

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

How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?

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.”

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.

What is the most comfortable heel height for women's dress shoes and what are the differences between wearing high heels and lower heels?

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.

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.

What factors may contribute to intelligent individuals identifying as Republican rather than Democrat in the United States today?

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

What is their lifestyle?

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.”

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

What is their product?

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.

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

Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?

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

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

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 I want to give up on men?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

Should transgender Ideology be renamed "Gender Revisionism/Biological Denialism"?
