Why Millions Buy Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
- Thread starter TK4
- Start date
So was mine
What was he doing at Tim’s? Shouldn’t he be at Starbucks?
p.s. I took my F900R to dirt and gravel already on 100% road tires. Do you have the contacts of that guy? We should switch our bikes.
I use my thin skin HD tears to polish my bike

Well, looks like many more are going to riding Harleys. HD Q2 sales up 43%.

Ooooof, stock dumped 7% today
Interesting. What were people expecting? HD is doing far better than I expected at finding a path forward. I don't own any stock as I believed they would never be willing to change and ride the brand into the ground with HD merchandise at Costco.

where does the posing in Timmies parking lot fall in?
is that split between Bragging and a little bit of Engine Revving?

Looks like it's holding steady in after-hours trading though. I don't expect any big jumps in value this year, but it's nice to see sales doing well.
Go ride by the Tim’s in Port Perry on 7A for one of many examples. Or most Tim’s on highway 7 between Peterborough and Perth, particularly Madoc and Havelock.
To be perfectly fair there’s lots of metrics in that crowd as well.

in small towns/cities, sure
I'm just messin around
most HD riders are too busy putting miles on to pose
sport bike guys are actually worse offenders
a rip to the forks for ice cream is a big outting
we have a couple of HD owners on this forum that def do not stand around posing
burns is a motorcyclist that owns a Harley and racks on miles
and the member with that beautiful red Road Glide
can't remember the nic, posts mostly in trip threads
that guy has more miles on his bike than I've ever put on one

This is what inflates their sales all to hell. You a fan?
SuperCub - Mini Motorcycle - Honda
The Super Cub may be a small motorbike, but it’s a giant when it comes to how it’s mobilized the world. One ride and you'll see why.

Just putting things into perspective - Honda lost the same number of sales in one year, as the total number of bikes HD has sold in their ENTIRE history.
I'm sure that if HD had approached an "every person's bike" concept they too, could be churning out a bazillion bikes each year, but instead are stuck in the mire of a possible impending financial doom.

yeah, but, like, do their salesman even look like Tommy chong?
Can confirm. In and around Peterborough anyway I had seen so many sport bikes with under tail lights, stretched rears and retarded light up or furry dumb helmets. When asked if they ever ride or just pose here you get the usual scoff "yea bro, I wheelie and drag knees all the time!". Sorry but the chicken stripes on your tires confirm, that was a lie.
