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

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.

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

What is the original source of the discord between Princes Harry and William? Does it go back to their childhood, or did it start with Meghan Markle?

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.

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.

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

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

What is their lifestyle?

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?

Do leftists understand why young men are becoming more right-wing?

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.

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

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.

Beautiful European women were killed by inquisition but Russia was not Catholic. Is this the reason for a drastic difference explaining why Russian women are the prettiest?

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.

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