Can Harley Davidson survive another decade with its declining sales?

BUTT. It didn’t happen.And Instead, we got this.

Boom. You just gave them an out.

Are you ready? Think electric. Think nostalgia.

The only way that I could see HD surviving is if they innovate their way out of the death spiral.

Maybe something like this (excuse the rough AI renderings, it’s just a way to get it out of my head and in a pic)

This is your chance to shine. If you pull this off, no one will care that your name is Chad and you wear a dress. No one will care that you couldn’t hack law school and you opted for a marketing degree instead. No one will care that you were hired at HD to fill DEI numbers. You will be like Freddy Mercury in full drag ~ on stage in front of 20,000 outlaw bikers , screaming “WE will WE will rock you”. Or Rob Halford screaming “hell bent! hell bent for leather! They will cheer you. They will bear hug you. They might even kiss you. On the lips.

Especially when the customers that brought HD roaring back to life in the 80’s and 90’s are mostly living in retirement villages now.

But imagine how cool a Harley would have been if they got into the naked superbike thing when they were strong. And if they put a little love into it. A blend of that signature HD fit and finish and thump into something new and exciting. They could keep their nostalgia thing going (more on that later) on a few models, and then spoon feed some enticing new tech to their customers. They didn’t necessarily have to compete head to head with the Japanese crotch rockets. Just something fun and radically new. A hybrid super bike cruiser thing. Borrow from that crazy radical V max. Add some a that beefy Harley flair.

Ok, not bad. I guess . But nothing jaw dropping. Nothing that inspired a lot of people to say ~ “gotta have it!”

I liked HD and I owned one.

But I always wished that they would be more innovative and progress a little more. They did half assed attempts with buying Buell and the V Rod. But it didn’t seem a genuine attempt. It seemed like they just tried to throw something at certain market and see what happens. They were fat and happy at the time.

Do it. Before Polaris/Indian sees this and steals your lunch money (again)

Oh yeah, and that nostalgia thing. There’s a time and place for it.

And for those diaper wearing diehard 1%’rs? “You can have my Harley when you pry it from my cold dead hands”

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

My little wokies at HD marketing. Now is your time. And central Florida is the place. And today is the state of mind. This is right under your nose. Probably in your desk. Open up that HD history book to around the year 1925.

Put the HD name on this. Stop hiding your electric bikes behind some silly name, like serial1. Really?? No. Say ~ this is HD, MF’rs!! Say it loud and say it proud. Put one of these in every sun room in central Florida. Strap one on the back of every motor home tooling down i~77 southbound in October. Offer some crazy over priced accessories. Bags, baskets, elegant fasteners for oxygen tanks. Nav system with heart monitoring, health , whatever, etc. Give Tim Cook a call. Team up and put 2 of the worlds most recognizable brands together. Use it or lose it.

Big fat rear tire, chrome, nice fit and finish. Big fat hairy old school HD combined with a modern look and modern tech. Water cooled. A better handling frame. It didn’t have to leave a quarter mile long strip of rubber on the pavement like a vMax. Just something fun and cool to run around on. Something that you could take on the winding roads and mountains and have some fun. And something someone could get excited about.
