Bro, that was great! Absolutely nailed it. When Kid Rock shot up all that Bud Light, what went through my mind was, "Call up Budwieser. I'm sure they will sell you as much beer as you want to shoot. Whether you shoot it or drink it, they still cash the check" 🤣
I agree with not destroying the bikes. The wokeness is bad, but what's concerning is they're moving HD production overseas. Also , you can't buy Chinese ammo in the states , it's either Made is usa or European.
I've been reloading my own ammunition for years. Despite the Bush ban, many of the bullet manufacturers in the USA that say "Made in America" are getting their components from China (and Russia) here's a list of Chinese companies who sell components to the USA: ammoterra.com/chinese-ammunition-components-slash-reloading-suppliers . KG-armory (among others) are still selling crates of fantastically inexpensive chinese 7.62. guys who run through a LOT of mil-spec ammo are still buying it in 550 round and 1000 round tins. If you're seeing empty casings flying out of gun and notice they're all black that's a strong indicator they're from Russia or China. And HD continuing to move production to China, Thailand, Brazil, Japan and Taiwan while it lays off Americans and shuts down production in their USA factories is hurting more than being "Woke".
Bro the hypocritical thing is they probably buy from Costco, Amazon, Starbucks etc that support DEI. 100% right man those dudes are clickbait and propped up by idiots cause colour, religion, being gay or straight isn't what riding should be about. But some folk are just way out of touch.
100%. I disagree with what H-D was doing. I called H-D and told them as long as the current CEO was there and they kept doing those things they would never get another dollar from me. They don’t care if you destroy a bike they made 30+ years ago. You want to hurt them you go to your local shop and use parts from the amazing aftermarket options that are out there. Don’t destroy an innocent motorcycle.
Thank you for setting this issue in context. The enthusiasm to destroy a quality American company in the name of "anti-wokeness" is incomprehensible as it is outrageous. The company has just launched its best spec, fit and finish of its bikes in history and the response - we do not like your philosophy. If the wokeness led to preferred customer pricing favoring a minority group I would understand the concern. This is not so.
Hey, thanks for the video! Do I think Harley went woke? I don't really give a shit and never did, in fact I remember all the bullshit over the AMF buyout and it never stopped me then and this woke bullshit won't stop me now. Let's face it, it's just a bunch of goddamn youtubers trying to get clicks.
What part of woke doesn't everyone like? Every company that has employees of a different race, culture, religion, ethnicity or orientation is a woke company. That pretty much makes virtually every company woke. Or are people being selectively woke...some parts of woke are okay and some parts are not?
I always ride wearing swazees and s s bolts and have them on my bike. My bike was debadged back in 1990. I agree with you and not shooting the bike. The bike isn't the problem. Badging the bikes with swazees and s s bolts would send a clear message right back to the original source.
Yeah, I wouldn't destroy my transportation either but I'll never spend a dime on a Harley. Harley is against 1) God, 2) Family, 3) Country, despite any trite policy change memo they may issue. You're right, the bikes don't take but your money does and who you give it to say's something about you.
Good video! I hot my 76 AMF Harley back in 93. I still have. It won't end up in a pond or as target practice for UA-cam video. These people crying over Harley. They forgotten about the AMF years. Harley came back from that they will from this. If not time will tell. For those that say will buy an Indian. They forget Polaris wants to change the name because of Indian they deemed offensive. They also forget a real Indian hasn't been made in years. It's not the Indian chief the Indian scout the Indian papoose. These bikes are called Polaris Indian.
Was doing some price checking on parts. and they have raised their prices about 20% from the most recent big book within the last month. Really bad timing.
Best vid ever. People need to get over themselves. Stop wasting money for stupid views. I love to ride don matter the brand long as its two wheels and wind. Give your harleys to me if you dont like what there doing. If you look hard enouph you will find wokeness in every company. 😊
Finally someonewith some sense about the stupid stuff going on ,I guess those guys are rich I'm not I would love to have any of those bikes . Agree bikes don't know who or what woke is.
I commend you on your sanity. I'm getting really tired of political culture war nonsense. We are supposed to use our bikes for therapy. I do, my HD makes a lovely noise and it makes all the BS go away.
Yep I agree fully that destroying the bikes is totally stupid, considering they are destroying bikes that were alive long before this whole woke issue… I watched the videos of the bikes being destroyed and it just made me cringe,,, We pay a much higher price for used Harley’s here in Australia and destroying one is just senseless to me
Echo-Chamber-Group-Hate. The same shot-stirrer Starbuck also tried to rally the alt-> against John Deere, Tractor Supply and any other thing he can. As far as HD goes, the new CEO is not American-Enough and the company has donated some $$$ to local Milwaukee civic events that happen to be gay or allow gay participation. They've instituted some "awareness" training at their factories (usually happens when someone says something stupid). There's probably more, but, I think you get the 'jist.
The fact that he didn't realize it was extremely out of touch to destroy a motorcycle that plenty of people would love to own but they're too busy trying to keep the rent paid and groceries on the table. I think the only legitimate criticism he made was Harley moving their manufacturing overseas but he could have raised that criticism without wrecking a bike. Harley only used pride flags in their marketing because young people aren't as into the brand or motorcycles in general (partially for economic reasons which makes wasting money on ammo to destroy a bike an even bigger slap in the face) as previous generations so they're just using tainbow capitalism to appeal to the youth, I don't think they had any "agenda" other than marketing and selling bikes. I also like the point you brought up about him using Chinese ammo and depriving american parts and labor being used to maintain those bikes. He also paid to promote the video so I'm not sure how much money he even ended up making anyhow minus the ammo cost, both bikes, and presumably renting some the machine guns. He clearly had money to throw away so idk if him making money off the video or just general clout was the motive but either way I found it super embarrassing and in his second video where he destroyed another bike he said "I dontate to all kinds of good causes" when talking about how people raised the criticism that he could have donated the bike to a veteran and then completely blows past it and doubles down destroying another bike, dude is a complete clown 😂
99 percent of the companies we purchase from are woke. Ride the damn bike life is short.
Bro, that was great! Absolutely nailed it. When Kid Rock shot up all that Bud Light, what went through my mind was, "Call up Budwieser. I'm sure they will sell you as much beer as you want to shoot. Whether you shoot it or drink it, they still cash the check" 🤣
Destroying a bike that Harley Davidson hasn't made money on in decades for clicks is whiny baby behavior.
"THE GOD DAMNED BIKE'S GAY!!!!!!" "CLETUS GET THE RIFLE!!!!!"
Yet ANOTHER reason to buy Indian and get away from the Garbage of ridiculously overpriced and overhyped bikes
I sold 3 bikes with a los! Never again!
Anyone wants to get rid of their motorcycles because of whatever. Can give them to me !

Buy an Indian

My gay brother says the guy that started this, Robbie Starbuck, is too gay for him.
H-D is almost dead anyway - like many boomers

Phil is the best!! Well said my friend.
CONTINUE the BOYCOTT! FHD! ✊️
👍🏿Amen why destroy a perfectly good bike...or a blue case of beer for that matter😂
Was doing some price checking on parts. and they have raised their prices about 20% from the most recent big book within the last month. Really bad timing.
I absolutely love that blue sporty
Yeah, it's a really cool bike, I sold it to a guy who is about 7'2" tall.
Thank you. So nice to hear from a grown up.
Best vid ever. People need to get over themselves. Stop wasting money for stupid views. I love to ride don matter the brand long as its two wheels and wind. Give your harleys to me if you dont like what there doing. If you look hard enouph you will find wokeness in every company. 😊
I love motorcycles too
Based. This video gave me back the brain cells I lost while watching that video.
Well said, Phil!
Good video buddy … people are so stupid today …

OkI have to ask just what did Harley Davidson do that peoples butt all in a puckered?

thank god someone has a brain i this counrty😂😂
Funny
I know a UA-cam channel who did
