I hope the people who put down deposits on new bikes and those whose bikes are in for service get them back.

I went to the original Dudley back in 2010 I think, it was a cool old building. It was actually the best thing i got to see it was raining and foggy, and i still had to drive to Stockton.

Harley has always had a pretty solid following in SF.
They (HD) even recently marketed directly to the gay community through their ad campaign; I don't think they would have bothered if there wasn't a profitable market.
This closure is no doubt a symptom of bigger issues than just declining motorcycle sales.

Their $35-$40k bikes sell just fine like their $45-55k bikes (Touring and CVO). It’s every bike below 25k that nobody wants.

Where do these people come up with this stuff? Harley had to do that marketing for their ESG score. It comes straight from the Government NOT HD. Do an in-depth research, get educated.

Those are old people bikes and it's the old people that can afford them. No mystery there.
