I don’t follow HD closely, but from watching him speak, their CEO is woke German/euro WEF-type, who also seems queer.

How did a person like this ever get to the top of such an iconic American brand?

Will they then bring it back under a different name?

Trust but verify...

In a message posted to X, Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson said it currently has no “DEI function” and has not operated such a program since April 2024.


Any one believe that?

Damage is done. The Sturgis rally this year decided HD was a lost cause.
Lot’s of guys are looking at Indian Motorcycles now.

If they don’t fire their CEO with prejudice, I will NEVER buy or ride a Harley.

"We are saddened by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks, designed to divide the Harley-Davidson community," the company said...

I don't get the sense that the HD community was in any way divided on the topic. Pretty much unanimous, in fact.

Without being rapacious...

The purpose of any business formed in a capitalist society is to create and produce things — including services as well as hard goods — and make money for the investors.

Anything significantly impairing that will eventually be tossed aside.

Trends and fashions are fine, but some make too much drag.

I always thought this was mostly obvious.
(Perhaps it’s my New Englander upbringing...)

No… same CEO, same board. And an apology blaming customers saying they were disappointed in the response.

Yes until they fire the ceo and the board don’t expect them to truly change

“...a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media.”

Liars. The critics are NOT anti-diversity, they’re anti-racism and pro-meritocracy.
