MAGA! I bet Trump doesn't tell everyone about this.. Harley bikes are gay anyway.. At best take the engine and then build a real bike yourself.. HD became a golified baby boomers mid life crisis bike.. Baby boomers are getting too old to ride them with out training wheels and now they are having trouble.

The simple fact is they focused far too much on appealing to a very narrow group of people.. You know week end bikers who wanted a pre bought bike with lots of crome so they could buy all the costume gear and go be biker criminals for the week end..

They over built with show rooms and dealers all over the place while catering to this specific group of people and then failed to look toward to future..

My bet in 10 years they will be owned by the Chinese. If they were smart they'd be actively trying to push their product in China because HD is kinda known as a so called outlaw American product and that would sell extremely well in the Asian market.
