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

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

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

Who is the greatest light welterweight boxer of all time?

What is their lifestyle?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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

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 is a sermon to talk about men?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

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

Does wearing earbuds cause potential physical health problems as the dirty, bacteria laden slabs of wax get pushed up into the ear canal and can't come out? You tell me. I'm not a doctor or nuthin'.

What is their product?

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.

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

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.

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

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

Since NATO is badly losing in Ukraine to the Russian forces, should NATO soldiers and commanders find a new job given their incompetence? Do they expect pushing different versions of the same disinformation every few months to help them win?

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.

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.”
