First, on topic of OP; Yes, Harley needs to be called out on wokeness, just like any other company/person who's drunk the Koolade.
Second, off topic of OP; Just curious about you Harley haters; how many miles have you put on an actual Harley?
My Harley is 15 years old; guess it is ok to keep it since it is pre woke? Also, no leaks or mechanical failures yet; just gas, oil, tires, battery (kinda like my 17 year old FJ Cruiser)
I get emails weekly from local dealerships I've done business with congratulating/welcoming new owners and probably 80% are pre-AARP age with about 10-15% of that female...just saying.
I like all motorcycles; have ridden Suzukis, Yamahas, Hondas. I'm happy you like your (fill in the blank) but please don't try to broadbrush those of us that like our Harley Davidsons, and I won't bash anyone for preferring 1911 over Glock, Colt over S/W, etc.
There's a lot of that going around.I just hate what they charge for them
There's a massive contingent of youngsters who love their Dyna's, my millennial son in law being one of them. The allure of that "outlaw" live fast, die young life will always be associated with HD to some extent, albeit with a tinge of fruit-booting nowadaysLet’s be honest, Harley Davidsons core fan base is dying of old age, and if they don’t start finding ways to get new customers they will die with them.
That's just sad. Very very sad.I don't ride motor cycles, I just towed lots of them.

Absolutely!!!H-D being gay is not really news.
But the pushing LGBTQABCDEFT “boot camps” and sponsoring drag queen story times puts them firmly in the camp of people who rape children, and they should go broke.
I can relate. When I was 10 years old I saw a guy on a bike get hit and run over by an 18 wheeler. All the wheels on one side chopped him into pieces. That was the most terrible sight I have ever seen. I have never wanted a motor cycle. Just me....Yeah, I witnessed a bike wreck when I was 7 that left a lasting impression. My neighbor backed out his driveway onto a road equivalent to one of our farm roads here - 55mph speed limit - t-boned the bike causing it to disintigrate, launched the headlight over 100' onto my other neighbor's porch. My granddad - a campus cop at the largest hospital in Portland OR at the time - was getting ready for work. He was the first emergency responder on scene. Guy was technically alive when he got to the hosptial on the life flight helicopter but he was brain dead.
In a weird twist of fate, that guys brother also wound up dying in a motor cycle accident a couple years later, putting his head through the back wall of a school bus for my school district, where my grand dad had taken a job as a bus driver. It was not HIS bus that got hit, but the lead driver's. She was off loading kindergartners when her bus was hit. Traumatic for her and the kids on the bus.
I just never felt a great urge to go fast on two wheels after that. I love going fast - just prefer a cage around me when I do it.
Oh no "subjecting white employees to DEI indoctrination". Every large corporation in the US does this so will he boycott all of those too?
How you feel you need to be dressed says more about you than the brand.I just never felt the need to dress up like a pirate to ride a motorcycle.
Same. Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, HDx3.I owned a few different brands.
Harley being my favorite.
Yep. I had a young man crash me on my 883 Sportster, barely bad enough to get an ambulance ride.Then I moved to a larger city for work.
Sold what I had and wouldn't trust anyone on the highway again.
Y'all be careful out there.
I don't have anything against HD motorcycles. In fact, I owned a Sportster for a while. But I just never felt the need to dress up like a pirate to ride a motorcycle.
I owned and rode a couple of BMWs, a couple of Suzukis, a Triumph, a Buell and, my favorite bike of all time, a Honda Goldwing.
I hope the same thing happens to HD that happened to Bud Light, John Deere and Tractor Supply. These corporations need to learn. But this tells you how out of touch they are with their customer base.
Hey S,Eh - its not like Harley riders actually ride much - their shits broken down more than Chrysler products. As a tow monkey I towed a lot of non-running Harleys - rarely had to tow Gold Wings, and the sport bikes were almost always towed for wrecks (shocker, I know) not mechanical issues.
A Harley looks damn cool on the back of a flatbed, I tell you whut!![]()
