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

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

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.”

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

What do gang stalkers want?

What is their lifestyle?

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

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

Is the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting a preview of what the US is going to do to Taiwan?

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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?

What is their product?

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

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.

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.

Would you date a Muslim guy? Why/why not?

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.

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

When was the last time you had sex with someone much older than yourself?

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

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.”
