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

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.”

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.”

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 do I seduce my sister? (I am an Indian) I want to have sex with her.?

What is their product?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

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

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.

What happens if they build new bikes?

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

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

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

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

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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

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

What is their lifestyle?

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

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 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 happens if they try to attract new customers?

Why did Donald Trump look so old during the debate?

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.

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

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

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?
