Harley (H-D) Goes Woke?

It's a superior machine.

Next time just say yes. You don't need to dig the hole any deeper.

Ironic, seeing how gay/overdone Indian/Victory bikes look. Most of them look like they just came out of a motorcycle drag show. If your going that route, you might as well buy a Goldwing, and if your buying a Goldwing, you might as well be buying a car.

I'm going to disagree with that last statement. Goldwings are heavy, but that weight disappears the moment you start rolling and it feels like you're riding a much lighter bike. Mine was by far the most comfortable bike I ever rode. It was my long distance touring bike and it excelled in that role. I quit riding several years ago after a friend had a terrible accident, but the Goldwing is the one bike I really miss.

I loved my Valkyrie. Basically a Goldwing that looks like a bagger. That flat six gives the bike such a low center of gravity you can do things with it you couldn't dream of on any other bike.

It's all good. Riding is riding. I like to poke fun at those that think their choice of motorcycle is the end all be all. It's like new shooters and Glock/Kimber.

Years ago an acquaintance was trying to sell his Valkyrie. For some reason he could not determine, it always ran rich.

I'm not going to argue over opinions, I don't care if you ride a vespa. Two wheels are better than four in seeing our beautiful nation.

ANYTHING on 2 wheels is better for 'seeing' wherever you are.. A few years motorcycling make you a much better/safer auto driver too. And it becomes much easier to predict other drivers behavior. Almost like a 6th sense after awhile.

Being one of the smallest things on the road will give you a new perspective on driving. I was an aggressive driver until I started riding bikes. I've got a lot more patience now.

That's because it's a special case of crazy.

I agree. There are a lot of good bikes out there. I've had a bunch of them of all different types. I enjoyed all of them, some more than others of course. But all of them made me smile.

Did they fire the culprit?

I have no clue what happened with regards to the board of directors...

I believe it's tied to their current CEO (and maybe also the board)...
AFAIK, he is still there.

Classic Economics teaches two prime rules for corporate management:

1). Preserve Capital

2). Make a PROFIT

Anything any c.e.o. does against those two should get him/her fired immediately !

Once again.........Harely says they reversed course........what's really happening behind the scenes? They still have that German lefty putz in charge
