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

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

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

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

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

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.

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

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.

When gallery photos are deleted at the same time, why are Google photos also deleted?

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’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.”

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

Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

What happens if they build new bikes?

How do schizophrenia symptoms change throughout the day?

What is their lifestyle?

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

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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.

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 is their product?

I can’t get any girl I want, but I can just get some not my type of girls, so I feel I’m so ugly. What should I do?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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.

Why are there so many girls and not enough boys to follow?
