No, Woke Policies and DEI Didn't Kill Harley's Sales

Harley-Davidson is screwed.

Its sales have declined year-over-year. The company's traditional customers are aging out. New customers aren't being brought into the fold, at least not with new motorcycles.

The iconic Motor Co. is barreling down a path toward inevitable doom.
