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.

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

Which album is your favorite that's now 50 years old (from 1975), and what's the best song on the album?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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

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

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

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

What is their lifestyle?

Where did Noah build the Ark? Was it in a desert or near water?

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 is their product?

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

Why do I get spun and then want big fat cocks to suck?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

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

While on the surface of the moon, why isn’t the Apollo 11 spacesuit inflated like a balloon from the 3.7 psi internal pressure?

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

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.

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

How would you advertise if you wanted to be a "tour guide" who can take you through the dark web while warning you what not to look at and not to click on?

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.

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.”

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.”

How do you say "I don't speak French yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn French with you. Would you like to teach me French?" in French? Could you add audio?
