Iconic Motorcycle Dealership shuts down after 110 YEARS

[JettaKnight]

One of the normal answers along with footballs around the season.

But, the correct answer is………holding cows together!!!

I’ll see myself out.

I’ll guess 600cc crotch rockets have the highest death rate as that seems to be a “starter bike” altho I believe it is way too fast and powerful to learn on.

I'll take that bet - just from watching the news, it's the HD crowd; mostly misjudging corners. And that crowd seems to eschew any protective gear, because it's not kewl.

Harley Davidson, 103 years.
Your choice of buying a Victory, they didn't make 20 years and out of business.
I own a 74 and a 71 year old Harley Davidson motorcycles, brand loyalty is so good I can still get any part new for those that I might need, Any part.
I can do the same with most vintage British motorcycles also.
One cant do that with a Victory or a old Gold Wing.

Young pups.

Royal Enfield made their first bike in 1901 and hasn't stopped since.

Moto Guzzi riders....the ones that ride past all the Indian and Harley Davidson people that spend all their time hanging out at the bar.

I really considered one, but the looks just didn't pop for me.

I also considered a Triumph, but then looked at my pay stub.

Thats those Yankee Harley Bagger guys.

I've never been one to swim with the pack, so a Harvey Diddleson wasn't even a consideration.

Indian for the win! (Again)

Harley makes trikes?

I thought those were custom jobs.

I remember when Harley was a motorcycle company.

Now just apparel for the AARP crowd remembering the glory days and trikes for those that can't pick up a bike.

Put that sticker on a trike and have her stand in front of it. Not sure anyone could see the difference. At first glance anyway.

Harley Davidson started building three wheeled Servi-cars in 1932. It's nothing new.

There's a lesson to be learned. Don't let foreigners take over running American companies. A German, speaking in Switzerland about Harley Davidson? Something terribly wrong with that picture.

All is well, says so right in his Wikipedia entry

In 2023, The Hardwire was in its third year of implementation and since its launch, the company had not missed quarterly earnings.[15][16] Zeitz's turnaround plan at Harley, was aimed at revitalizing the company as a premium brand and is already considered a success story.[17][18]

I'm guessing Zeitz authored that Wikipedia entry.
