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

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

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

A protestant (one that adheres to sola scriptura) disagrees with a catholic. How do they propose resolving the dispute?

What is their lifestyle?

What is their product?

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

One day, I happened to walk past where my crush was with friends. Then all of a sudden they start laughing, and someone maybe him, goes "freaking (my name) with her freaking hair!" Can anyone offer insights into this? We're in middle school.

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.”

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:

What are some common examples of human hypocrisy?

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

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.”

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

Isn't it a turn on to have sex with a girl in a skirt or in a tight spandex?

What happens if they build new bikes?

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

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

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

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.

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

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 the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

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.

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.
