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

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.

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

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.

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

What happens if they build new bikes?

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

What do you respect the most about Elon Musk?

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.

They need new customers or they’re done. Their existing customer base is aging out and, well, dying.

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

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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.”

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.
