Harley-Davidson is dropping DEI policies after pressure from diversity critics

Honda Mini-Trail 50’s & 70’s are selling for more money than I paid for my last two Harley’s.
Soon, you’ll be able to buy a nice 1100 Sporty for $500.

POS CEO’s don’t define a company.

Here's just a few CEOs that did define their company:

-Richard Smith, former CEO of Equifax, who mishandled and covered up information about a breach that affected 143 million people's personal and financial data
- Jeffrey Skilling, former CEO of Enron
- Elizabeth Holmes, former CEO of Theranos
- Les Moonves, former CEO of CBS
- Dennis Muilenburg, former CEO of Boeing who mishandled the Boeing 747 Max failures
- Dennis Kozlowski, former CEO of Tyco

The list goes on, most with names few would recognize. It's eye-opening to see how many CEOs went "from the boardroom to the prison cell".

There is no other way. If the CEO stays, then HDI wants to bleed out.

[Socon-Econ]

Not good enough. Fire the officers promoting it.

[TBall]

Going to be hard to sell a new Harley, but I could see the pre DEI models going up in value. The knock off parts market will boom.

I've owned several Jap bikes in my life and was considering a Harley Davidson. I hadn't pulled the trigger on it yet because life got in the way. It's not like a motorcycle is a must have for anyone, it's a luxury toy so I'd been thinking about it for a while. Now the chance of it being a HD is zero, no way I'd ever buy one.

As someone who has drank a LOT of beer in his life I can say that no Anheuser-Busch products have passed my lips since the tranny stuff happened, nor will it ever again.

Quite frankly I am sick of this garbage and while it may get forced upon our society, it won't be done with any of my money.

I’m seriously looking at Indian Bikes. They are beautiful!...............

HD is for accountants, dentists, and boomers looking for an identity. They are fat, slow, expensive, and no fun to ride.

And the gay leather crowd. Hugely popular with that group. There is a gay dance bar about 6 blocks south of my office and when I work late and drive past is is nothing but Harleys.

[Red Badger]

They are fat, slow, expensive, and no fun to ride.

And so are the motorcycles..................

[CodeToad]

hehe. “Fat chicks are like mopeds, fun to ride until your friends find out!”

[Red Badger]

For some reason there’s a Queen song going on in my head.................

I am waaay past motorcycle age - even a Spyder trike - but if I were in the market, I’d look at Indian over H-D.
