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

What is their lifestyle?

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.

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 do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?

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

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

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

Is it okay for me to wear girls’ underwear?

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.

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

What is their product?

How do the Sola Scrptura folks react to the Dead Sea Scrolls and other more recent discoveries of ancient Biblical texts not among those canonized by Martin Luther?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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.”

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 will be the biggest factor in determining whether Daniel Penny was justified in believing that Jordan Neely had posed a deadly threat in the manslaughter trial?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

Can you share summer photos? Day 8

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

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.”

What happens if they build new bikes?

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

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

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

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