It's funny talking to a millennium about computers of the 80 - 90s. They think your nuts when you tell them how you had to get on the Internet and cell phones were not invented yet. You think they would pass out or something from shock!
What the world would be like if cell phones were never invented....

Smaller Harley
Harley missed the boat with the “street” series. Look at all of the small metric cruisers. Harley should have scaled down the Sporster to also have a 500 option and really lowered the price. The Streets don’t even resemble a Harley.

Harley really messed up thinking young people would pay a grand or 2 over the price of a metric equivalent just because of the Harley badge on the tank. The street rod was even more a failure. Motorcycles aside for a second Harley needs to treat customers better if it wants millennial sales. For example when Yamaha introduced its 4 valve v-twin around a decade ago it had lifter issues, if the customer even mentioned the word lifter Yamaha replaced them. Harley fights you tooth and nail cause they don't want to pay. The moco just sucks...
