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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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

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

Do Brits realize that Andrew Tate is the one who will liberate their country from tyranny by becoming prime minister?

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 is their product?

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.

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.

What are some hard rock or heavy metal bands that are overrated?

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.”

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

Is there a possibility that BTS members will be exposed by "Dispatch" for publicly dating, similar to other K-pop stars who have recently been seen doing so?

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

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

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

Quia perspiciatis sed qui quidem voluptas excepturi possimus.

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

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.

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

What is their lifestyle?

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

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.”
