      If they go all electric, they'll kill most jobs because so many are required to make an ICE. Then moving production offshore, they're destroying US jobs anyways so the sooner the brand dies, the better. BUT the plan to go all electric is a fool's errand: the EV market is trash and many/most are scrapping their EV production because ppl aren't buying them.

      Although this is true, his point is still valid. One of their (Polaris) majority shareholders is Vanguard. The very company that is the majority shareholder in HD that is pushing this in HD.
      The largest shareholder of 88% of the companies on the s&p 500 is either blackrock, state street or vanguard, the ones behind all of this. They don’t care if you like it because they pretty much own everything.

    DEI: yeah, the gov't is forcing them to adopt the policy BUT DEI (didn't earn it) will hurt them in the end when the products are crap because some unqualified person built and designed it. I recently saw an article on an airliner who was "proud" to have an all female flight crew. What do you bet to achieve that they had to arrange it so a fully qualified man was kicked off the team? Same as another one who promoted "all black flight attendants".
    You see DEI and woke in the current Olympics. Did you SEE the australian break dancer? First of all, break dancing is an Olympic sport? wtf? and then to put someone like THAT on stage? Not to mention men in female sports and specifically, the male boxer.

    The CEO said they are reducing production numbers and increasing the prices of the heavy bikes in order to make more profit on fewer bikes. I see this as a way to argue that "big twin sales are declining" and that "people are shifting to electric, and the sales numbers show it". I'm just glad there are a lot of excellent used Harleys out there.

      I had to use a Honda Rebel 250 Parallel Twin in the motorcycle Ohio Beginner's Course. Nice clutch, but the rest was conducive to failure. One guy I spoke to on the Facebook bike groups said when he was an instructor for them, they found that most of the rider students that went down were on the Rebel 250's. They're smaller than my V Star 250, which is the same size as the mid-80's Sportster. They had not a one. But older Harley's, like the Sportster are always gonna be cool!

    Harley Davidson prices many riders cannot afford and this goes foe a used one and if HD isn't careful they will shut down just like Victory did back then. I certainly remember attending that class for Harassment in the work place and that word covered many forms of the word so you had to be careful who you mingled with how you spoke and keep your hands to yourself.

I am tired of the constant and consistent degradation of everything that has been going on in America, and America has suffered greatly for it. It's God that raises up nations and it's God that humbles them. We need to remember that and act accordingly as much as we can. It matters.

    The bottom line is, H-D (or ANY other company) is going to do what they feel is best for them. Is it really the best? Only time will tell. However, its THEIR decision to make. That's American Capitalism at work. International Harvester was once a great company. As was Pabst brewing.
    They both got comfortable with what they were making, and didn't want to change. You may not LIKE what H-D is doing, but maybe it will work for them. If not, we can bury them right next to Sears.
