    I didn't see any concrete action HD took to be labeled as "woke" in that article. Is this literally just vibes?

    Anyway couldn't have happened to a better company. Wait a couple of years and get a discount road king if you're into that sort of thing.

      Some nobody ("robby starbuck" lol) claims they're doing DEI with absolutely no evidence, and also they changed the H-D logo

      Basically imaginary wokeness

        I think there's a little more to it which is that HD is clearly dying and has been on life support for a while and the chuds want to blame something and someone for it. The truth is just that they're not bringing to market the kinds of bikes most riders want - big expensive touring bikes have their market but a new rider will never buy one, you gotta bring them on board with something relatively cheap and simple and in that category HD hasn't been competitive since the 1950s.

            They've been double the price of comparable bikes since back when I still rode which was almost 20 years ago.

            I think a lot of GIs brought back Harleys given by the army from WW2. So they were basically free.
