Like a lotta Boomer poo poo, I think younger people might be into it if the companies and organizations made half an effort to cater to the younger folks, and hanging out with HD fans wasn't like hanging out with your racist parents and their friends.

Yeah, they had some really good luck selling more aggressive versions of the sportster, so they took that lesson and made the street rod? Which is even more lame and boring than most Japanese sub-litre cruisers, and they doubled down on the 60k parade bikes... I've never been the target demographic for a cruiser, but hell, if.i can get a semi cheap shovelhead in a COVID death estate sale, I won't be upset.

Their CEO a couple of years ago (now forced out) noticed they were running out of people to sell bikes to and proposed a strategy to make different types of bikes in an attempt to appeal to new groups and markets outside the US. In February, some mutual fund nerds that own 2% of H-D agitated to get some new directors and they forced the CEO out and returned their strategy to focus on their core riders. Stock price naturally went up by 20% after that.

If zoomers and millenials don't go out and buy gigantic bikes from Harley, they're gonna be a penny stock inside a couple years, especially as the boomer die-off accelerates.

I look forward to seeing piles of harleys on craigslist next few months, and constantly sinking prices. The desperate ones will post their loan statements in an effort to get someone to buy their mistake off them for what's owed. Because there's no way in gently caress the bulk of newer harleys aren't financed to the passengers' tits.

Basically every sale that HD lost went to Indian/Polaris anyway. The problem isn't the bikes, although they suck, it's the other riders. No one but chuds want to be associated with them, or be known as a harley rider. They thought they'd get them gosh darn millennials with an electric bike but their existing base hated it and no one new wanted a HD so, congratulations on loving yourself. I mean poo poo, it wasn't too long ago that a pillion seat was still referred to as a bitch seat in the HD catalog.

My buddy went up to Sturgis Tuesday to people watch (I wouldn't but whatever) and he thinks there are more people our age (40ish) than I think. I don't know, all the ones plowing through town are riding Harleys and look pretty boomer to me. Also, lots of trikes, lotta trikes. I think that will be Harley's bread and butter in the next decade, trikes for old boomers.

I feel like an electric bike would be extremely my jam as I hate loud bikes and that is the biggest reason I never got into them. An OD green Indian Scout but electric would probably be my dream bike. Maybe when I hit my mid-life crisis.

A couple of years back my sister died and I needed cash quick to get to see her (and my girlfriend didn't want me to die in a crash). I sold my harley I owned outright to the local dealership for around 5 grand less than what I paid for it years before. It's not still on the lot in town, but Harley has yet to sell it as the title is still in my name. The dealership in town is under new management and a salesperson called me trying to get me to come in to ride a new bike. I politely declined.

I miss having a bike (last was a V-Strom 650) but I don't see myself riding again. It was fun when I was younger, especially a teenager with old 70s Hondas to ride around, but I've got enough physical ailments without risking getting hit by someone texting and driving. To each their own, though. Not that I'll be giving up my motorcycle endorsement on my license, however.

Make some bucks, pay some dividends, dump the stock when you see your internal targets trending too negative and let the company go bankrupt.

The Governor of South Dakota thinks we should put on our "positive pants" with this pandemic. Bitch is lucky I'm even wearing something resembling pants. https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/l...SJEOPfT-9eR3muM quote:“There is a risk associated with everything that we do in life,” Noem said. “We mitigate risks by taking proper precautions when we get in our cars, when we operate farm equipment, and when we make choices about what we eat and how much we exercise. The same should be true about life as we get back to normal.” I'd laugh harder if I wasn't regretting my life choices and drinking vodka right now.
