this is a stupid thread that has lived on past it's expiration date. it was stupid from inception. Ole'OJ wanted to shoot the *hit and complain about whatever the heck was on his mind and after 45 sales posts, 2000 old men insulting young men posts, 50+ armchair CEO posts, and etc... here we are making a mockery of man bun.... this thread has no destination.... it has no course.... it is a pox on humanity

did you know that Kermit the frog was transgender stripper that was sexually harassed by Andrew Dice Clay? they cancelled all Andrew's remaining tour dates because of pressure from the Me Too movement. all true

Become way too expensive
New engine issue
Customer service and dealer service is LOW
To many issue here and there with bikes
To many 2014 2015 2016 used bike for sell privet and at dealers
Parts become way to expensive


Indian bikes taking over
Better bike
Better engine
Better price

Market is ready for new bike

Just matter of time Indian take over as soon as more company provide more parts for the bike

I'd rather push a Harley-Davidson uphill than ride an Indian. There That should bring the Indian trolls out!

I think the whole man bun thing is somewhat relative. Part of what sells Harleys is image. You know, the real biker image. IDK if that;'s a dude in skinny jeans with a man bun, but I kinda figure it's rather topical to discuss this.

Not that it makes a difference. I mean, if a man bun is your thing, then, go for it. If you can fit into skinny jeans, then, by all means, you should hit the squat rack. My relaxed fit jeans fit like skinnys when I am in a tuck on the Roadster.

Isn't the whole man bun thing an Asian thing anyway?

This entire thread is what could be causing the decline of HD. So everything said here could be valid. Yea, sometimes it goes on a tangent, but it corrects itself once in a while. If anything, there is no conclusion as to what is causing it. Were ALL spit balling here...
