  4. They make a product where demand has steadily declined. No amount of incentives change that.

    Neither does trolling about the mayor, president, democrats, republicans, etc. by all the keyboard ninjas.

    I don't know why the employees I've seen being interviewed seemed so shocked and didn't see the writing on the wall.

  6. Strange, but once again, a Corporation devoted to the concept of making a profit manages to IGNORE THE SHIT OUT OF SOME POLITICIANS!

    Just goes to show you that nothing done by any member of the Political Class has any effect on Reality.

  8. ^^^^ +1,000 @ 10:44!

    Hate to use this word because of a disgusting jerkoff who posts on this site a lot, but all Harley makes are "GEEZER-CYCLES", and their customer base is dying off or getting too crippled up to ride!

    Any time you see someone under sixty on a Harley, you can bet they're on the way to make a "delivery", and pizza is not involved.

  9. 10:16 = Voice of Reason

    Let the marketplace rule. If they were producing a product in demand, they wouldn't be closing this factory.

    Harley-Davidson has relied upon their history and image to keep their business going, but younger people don't like their product and can't afford it either. Ironically, you end up with a bunch of white-collar professional types, with disposable income, who like the pretense of being a "biker."

  20. The bots are posting their false failing company and product talking points.

    The MAGA crowd so quickly disparages an American icon to protect the Orange Julius Caesar. HOG is not failing. Revenue was up last quarter as they continue to earn billions annually.

    Trump's broken promise to protect American manufacturing jobs has the sheep scared. Worse, the tax policy is a 180 reversal. Companies are rewarded to automate factories that eliminate jobs, which is exactly what HOG is doing. These job loses are directly caused by Trump's GOP tax scheme.
