Influencers Are Calling Harley Woke Again. Then They're Hyping Indian Motorcycles

Honestly, I don't even know how to begin this story, so let's just get to the crux of it. A handful of right-wing and far-right influencers are calling Harley-Davidson "gay and woke." This isn't the first time this has occurred, as a D-list influencer had branded the company "woke" not that long ago, and RideApart was forced to show how the reason for Harley-Davidson's recent troubles were not its DEI initiatives or anything resembling how it "went woke."

Harley made its own bed by catering to a single crowd for over 30 years and never changing anything.
