    I doubt half these blokes that are on the "woke" side actually watched your video or listened to what you said, but the comments make for an interesting read...as with any topic there are three sides, opposing views and the truth!
    The truth is like Gnarly Harley said is major companies should just ensure their staff care for everyone regardless of there orientation and NOT get involved in child sex changes, training only white men, exposing kids to drag queens. This should not be company policy.
    Harley just need to keep making great bikes and training their staff on treating all their customers with respect regardless of their beliefs.
    Listen to his video, I know its hard to hear another point of view sometimes. 🙏

    I totally agree with that you said, especially about the Drag queens and the kids, it's wrong on so many levels.
    I am a gay woman and I do not agree with this Woke thing at all. Like you said, we are all human and as long as you do your own life and don't force anything upon anyone else we can all just get on with it.
    I can't stand labels and all this new jargon going round.
    Us bikers just want to ride and I agree that the motorcycle manufacturers should stay away from this sort of thing.
    Thank you for you video, always a good watch 😊

    i dont know if your looking at this correctly. i just did a quick google search and found that vanguard and blackrock own about 20% of harley davidson.
    here is a quote from the blackrock ceo "You have to force behaviors. If you don't force behaviors, whether it's gender or race or...We're gonna have to force change.”.
    seeing that its the share holders that elect the board maybe all this anger toward harley should be directed at institutional share holders and the agendas that they have.

      @adamroodog1718 sorry I'm abit of a spanner, not the sharpest tool in the shed with putting what I'm thinking into words lol. Basically all I'm saying is the politics should be left out of it whoever higher up has made this decision to go "woke" I'm sure will soon back track like all the other companies, I'm sure they will lose money seeing how many people have lost their minds lol. The ceo has stated he wants to move forward to making all harleys electric and also is "temporarily" getting harleys built in Thailand which has already pissed alot of people off on top of this woke stuff. I imagine soon there will be a change in the chain of command or some back tracking will happen but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching 🧡 🖤 🤙

    Another gay woman here. My opinion is that I love my Harley & hate all this alphabet nonsense. They push their agenda on people, people are gonna push back.
    This flag waving, rainbow wearing ‘Look at me, I’m special, give me special treatment’ goes totally against what I’ve always been about.
    We’ve always wanted to NOT be treated any differently.
    Harley was synonymous with non-conformity, but telling us what to do & think is the opposite of what the brand used to stand for. No wonder people are p1ssed off & disappointed.

    Hello Matt! If Harley wants to make bikes in Thailand... when Trump gets back in office... Harley will be paying a 100% or more of a tariff to bring those bikes into the USA. So I would say that Harley's will continue to be made in the USA. As for the DEI... I agree with your Dad 100%. He makes perfect sense to me! Interesting vlog this week! John...

    So they put out the video of the Harley tent at Sturgis, showing it pretty much empty....what they didnt show was BLack HIlls Harley which sold over 615 motorcycles that week...it was LITERALLY a record sales week LOLZ. Do I believe in the whole "woke" training that employee's are training in, ABSOLUTELY NOT....but as far as boycotting Harley...exactly how many new Harleys do I buy every year??? How much do I spend every year on HD branded gear every year...next to NONE.... THE strangest thing of this ENTIRE "Boycott" is that its all being organized on UA-cam, Facebook, Instagram....which are the MOST WOKE COMPANIES out there by far and away?!?!?! So why arent these platforms being boycotted???? LOLOL. Makes no sense to me at all. Boycotting Budweiser was a simple thing to do, as there were 100's of alternatives and it was a product that you bought all the time, boycotting the motorcycle I buy once every few years....thats a MUCH more difficult proposition, as its a MUCH less frequent purchase.....you buy an Indian instead and next year Polaris will be woke as well...what do you do then??? I am simply going to enjoy my motorcycles and live my life....really that easy.

    • @Gnarly_Harley

It can be easily twisted... very good points mate. im sure harley will take some sort of hit to the pocket and potentially we will see a change... Harleys are awesome and what other bloody option do we have for a cruiser really..... with as much soul and character!? Nothing. Exactly right, even if you went indian... new CEO's come and go aswell then everything can change. Great perspective mate, very good points. I love my harley it's bloody awesome !

    I own and ride a Harley, and will continue to do so. I cant afford a new Harley, so, they weren't getting new money from me.
    Well juat have to see how this ends up.
    And youre right, trying to be inclusive brings division, which is weird. But you cant force groups/cultures etc to buy a prodict by advertising directed towards them. Wenhave our own minds and can think fir ourselves.
    If a person wants a harley, a bud light, a snickers, whatever, juat pick something. That person will buy that product, not based on advertising, but, because something about that prodicts attracts them, in its own merit.
    If that makes sense.
    I dont give a damn whos what, what they think, what they like or who they love. Its their life, and if i see someone on a bike, they are part of the BIKER community, regardless of gender, sexual oreference, etc..and its nothing thats ever popped i to my head to think "are they gay/transgender/etc..."

Respect ALL human beings; training geared toward a particular segment of society is inherently unfair to all the segments left out. OMG, I'm glad the new CEO is "woke" for his own edification, hooray. Actually, I consider myself quite woke but would never draw attention to it as it has no bearing on 99% of my day-to-day life.

    Hey Matt,
    I don't bother getting wound up by all this woke stuff, at the end of tge day Harkey Davidson as a brand an huge corporate organisation has to be seen to be playing the corporate card, all that matters is if you're upright and breathing and able to ride just enjoy and make the most of every moment. Life's too short to worried about all this stuff. Like you said, respect whoever deserves the respect, and no 1 rule of thumb is treat people the way you like to be treated.

    On the woke issue, capitalism will decide the direction of that. If "woke" practices economically reward the company long term they will stay. If they don't they won't. Blowing up your bike or marring your bike absolutely harms the individual doing it as real cash value is decreased or eliminated. That does absolutely nothing to Harley as an organization. If anything you're lowering the number of inventory out in the market which, basic economics, drives up the value of the remaining bikes. If you don't like/want your bike your best bet is to sell it, and then take the cash and invest it in something you like or believe in. Also by selling your bike you're putting more inventory out into the market which will drive prices down. That, if enough folks do it, actually would affect Harley Davidson. In the end Harley or any org, is going to do what, long term, is going to help them to survive economically. Woke/ no woke, what ever works best in the market will prevail.

    People thought that Boycotting Bud was going to harm them. In the end it did not hurt than as they own other brands that people switched to. As for HD I am part of the LGBTQIA community and it does not mean because they waving a flag and supporting DEI it is not going to make me buy a bike from them because of that. I am going to buy one because I like the new models. I don't need companies running around and shoving this crap does not help my community.

      Bud light lost a lot of money and it did affect them financially, regardless of other companies that they own, they are suffering from it. The thing with Harley Davidson and why people are so upset is because it’s an American brand that’s been around forever and American don’t stand with this ideology, nor do they stand with the queer community brainwashing, grooming and sexualising children forcing people to accept their way of living. If people want to be gay that is fine, but don’t be pushing that on our children. The other thing is the CEO doesn’t even ride Harleys and he is a radical leftist from Germany who knows nothing about, Harley Davidson or American values and should’ve never been hired. The whole DEI Thing is a bunch of BS and no company will ever thrive doing it. You hire people who are qualified for the job not because of their gender or race, if you do that accompany will run itself into the ground and people don’t want to see American companies I’ve been around forever, go down like that. As an American we are passionate and we are patriotic and we also refuse to let these left winged lunatics destroy American companies and America. Ever since this woke ideology has been pushed onto people across the world, there’s been nothing but chaos, Corruption, lies and division. People have lost morals and have been brainwashed to be weak minded individuals who are offended over any little thing, people lost their common sense and we need to put a stop to this or the whole world is going to be destroyed. If America falls the rest of the world well go down with it. FACTS!
      Harley Davidson are the best bikes in my opinion. I’m going to keep my Harley and the way I’m going to handle this situation is I won’t buy a new Harley until things change, and if I need parts, I will get them online from another company instead of buying it through the Harley. I took the badges off my bike long time ago because I think it looks better. Anyways…. coming from a patriotic American that loves my country that’s my point of view and it’s the point of view coming from most Americans. None of these companies should be getting involved with politics or pushing agendas onto people.
