A German, Colgate Palmolive, Then Puma, board member of Kenyan Wildlife Service.

Hopefully this helps stop that stupid CEO cult where they believe that ANY random CEO, can be plugged into ANY company and make it work well.

His woke, electric, Chinese factory having, globalist European mentality bullcrap was destructive.

Selling “wokeism” to potential Harley buyers won’t work.
Stevie Wonder could have seen that.

There was an old joke that said the only difference between a vacuum cleaner and a Harley was the position of the dirt bag. Apparently it was in the C suite.

Dirty little secret about HD: It’s more Honda and BMW now than HD.

As having been the owner of Harleys for over 15 years I can say with all confidence that woke policies are only part of their problem......those bikes are WAY more expensive than they should be.

$30k for a touring bike is stupid.

Motorcycle sales in general have been trending lower, mostly due to younger generations being less interested in owning them compared to in the past. The woke and DEI policies of this CEO only accelerated the rate of disinterest.
Not sure if they can ever be profitable again without severe downsizing and becoming specialized.

All these people that have decided that Men are evil have a problem.
The world doesn’t need “Soyboys” or raving feminists.
Your kids will turn their backs on your BS.
Despite our best efforts Kids have innate sense of what
is good and what is bad for them.

Yes. My wife has a Harley but I have a Yamaha and a Suzuki.

When I am invariably asked why I don’t have a Harley I simply say “I don’t like working on motorcycles.”..............

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out even if there are 1,000 Hell’s Angels waiting to inflict retribution outside that door.

FUNNY how that simple statement keeps getting proven over and over and over and over AGAIN.

The LEFT seems incapable of learning even the simplest of things.
