You’re the cunt making up political bullshit to get attention. You got waaay more than you deserved when you were brought out of the grays but, since you’re out ... fuck off, Ivan.

Dumbest comment in the history of Jalopnik. GTFO.

Oh look, another Russian hiding behind a burner account.

They would still just blame democrats and black Jesus.

That was the year Hardly Ableson whined to the gubmint that they couldn’t compete with ‘them import motorcycle companies’ and demanded that something be done about it.

So, that ol’ idiot, Ronnie Raygun, stuck a tarrif into place on Japanese motorcycles 750cc’s and over. This, according to Hardly, was “their” territory..

…

I read through all of the comments and did not find a single request for fried apple pies at McDonald’s.

‘We’re delighted,’’ said Vaughn L. Beals, Harley-Davidson’s chairman. ‘’It will give us time that we might otherwise not have had to make manufacturing improvements and bring out new products.’’

Shit, how did Harley miss the “affordable retro” trend in its entirety? They could have updated the sportsters to not suck as much, kicked their dealer’s asses until they got onboard with selling people sportsters instead of trying to up sell them on a cruiser, and printed cash.

Up and coming hipsters have money and 50 years to live. Should we market to them? No, let’s double down on 55-year-old dentists and tough-guy-wannabes.

Seems like all the young riders I know have Indians. Harley doesn’t even register with them. They think it’s an old man’s brand and they remember how South Park made fun of Harley riders when they were kids.

Not really. Here’s what you could have said: Sales of big bikes are up in Europe where there are fairer wages, a large social safety net (healthcare, childcare etc.), no college debt (it’s free), and a more equitable distributon of wealth.

Oh piss off, Ivan.

Harley has a rich history of hill climb and flat track. Some kind of dirt oriented adventure bike should be a natural fit.

“carne asada” is an Aztec term that translates to “make your own fucking fajitas, gringo”

Haha you should have been CEO

It is literally Trumps fault because he slapped a bunch of tariffs around the world and they retaliated by hitting Harley with tariffs. 

The funny part about conservatives trying to be funny is that they keep trying.

I can’t believe this took this long. Levatich is the Wayne Fontes of motorcycling. There is no cup of coffee this idiot couldn’t mess up. Apologists point to an industry decline, but he missed every hot trend in the industry, including those that played to their core strengths. How did they miss the retro trends?

Maybe Harley should try making an SUV?

The double-decker taco at Taco Bell, a seriously underrated menu item that solves the problem of their crispy shells that dissolve into dust. Not to mention adding refried beans to a taco is awesome. They still have everything they need to make the darn things.
