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

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.

What happens if they build new bikes?

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 do you think is the #1 cause of why relationships nowadays don't seem to last long?

What is their lifestyle?

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

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

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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

What are your thoughts on the trend of Americans labeling themselves as "TikTok refugees" and migrating to the Chinese social media platform RedNote (Xiaohongshu)?

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

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.”

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.”

How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

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.

Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

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

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

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

Why is sin so sweet?

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

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.

How is bestiality wrong, but killing animals for sport or trophies is considered okay?
