Then there are riders like me. I'm pushing 62 and already have 3 Harleys. I don't need or want another motorcycle.

Agreed..l'm one of them .For what it's worth l got through to Harley, the pin and patch are on the way.. The Harley rep said they have been getting bombarded with calls about the digital changes to HOG.

I am not even a boomer and your your attitude towards the boomers is old stuff. Give it a break.

It was the Boomer's who made Harley the most profitable motorcycle company in the world.

I call it as I see it. Don’t like it, don’t read it!

In France it's a PITA to get new bikes despite the demand. My dealer sells about 300 bikes a year. They expect to receive less than 200 this year. Some models/colours with 6 months delay.

(More than) rumours say that 1/3 of the dealers will close. Last in date : the one in the isle of Reunion. HD replaced by... the Indian panel !

Kodak was a huge firm. Too big to fail ? Well, no...

We just need a Certified Preowned program for the shirts as well.

Do we know which board members and executive leadership ride or don't ride?

Not that it should matter in all positions but it was nice to the top guy rides.
