May 14th is a rather nondescript day, ain't it? It definitely isn't May 4th—yes, I'm a Star Wars nerd—nor the party that revolves around May 5th. Yet, despite its beige outward appearance, it's set to be a barn-burner, as the contentiousness over Harley-Davidson's board is set to come to a head.
The date above is the one set for Harley-Davidson's next shareholders meeting, and based on what's been going on over the past few weeks, it'll be an interesting one as the board is set to vote on whether they kick out the brand's current CEO, as well as two long-standing board members.
This messiness all began when current CEO Jochen Zeitz announced that he'd be retiring at the end of the year. His tenure wasn't exactly what was promised when he was promoted to the position from the company's board five years ago, and Harley's faced numerous external and internal challenges during his reign as leader of the Motor Co.
