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

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.

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.”

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

What does the Turkish word çıplak mean?

What is their lifestyle?

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

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

What is their product?

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

Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?

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.

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 does it mean when your husband comments and likes other women on social media? He has private IG and TikTok accounts that I have no access to. He has saved videos and pictures of women on his phone.

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.

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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

Have you ever been forced to undress for money just once?

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

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

How do you feel about the impending end of what Donald Trump calls "the Green New scam"?

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

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.

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.”
