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

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

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

What is their lifestyle?

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

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 happens if they build new bikes?

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

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

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 is their product?

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

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.

Typical Harley-Davidson customer

Sometime ago, the Iranian Minister said that a US Navy aircraft carrier would be an easy target for 300 speed boats armed with Katyusha rocket launchers. Is this true?

What happens if they try to attract new customers?

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

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

Why do companies cull employees during financial downturns without saying so?

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.”

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

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

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.

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.”

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.
