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

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

What is their product?

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

Why do so many people find Kakashi's character so appealing and inspirational?

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 happens if they try to attract new customers?

Do you think a lot of sociopaths' parents kill themselves for having brought such disgusting evil into the world? How much shame and disgust must they carry?

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.”

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.

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

What were Sauron's powers in The Lord of the Rings (LOTR)? Did he have any magic or anything like that?

How can I move on from my ex?

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

Is the water safe to drink in England like here in America or is it necessary to bring tablets to prevent any cholera when in London?

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.

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

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.”

What role did China play in the signing of the "Beijing Declaration" between Fatah and Hamas? What other information is worth noting for talks among Palestinian factions in Beijing?

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.

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

What happens if they build new bikes?

Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?
