It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Harley Davidson is woke now. frothingfash

Some nobody ("robby starbuck" lol) claims they're doing DEI with absolutely no evidence, and also they changed the H-D logo

Basically imaginary wokeness

I think there's a little more to it which is that HD is clearly dying and has been on life support for a while and the chuds want to blame something and someone for it. The truth is just that they're not bringing to market the kinds of bikes most riders want - big expensive touring bikes have their market but a new rider will never buy one, you gotta bring them on board with something relatively cheap and simple and in that category HD hasn't been competitive since the 1950s.

Were Harleys ever cheap or did people just feel differently about how much money it was reasonable to spend on a bike in the past?

I think a lot of GIs brought back Harleys given by the army from WW2. So they were basically free.

They've been double the price of comparable bikes since back when I still rode which was almost 20 years ago.

Aka "i went into a Harley dealership and there was a Mexican working there" (Todd just got back from a week long beach vacation)
