I disagree, the Company was founded in 1903 and was did well into the 90's and then the 50 plus crowd decided to be some kind of poser biker gang type and destroyed the brand. Not very different than what happened to the Corvette and all the 6o plus folks buying them the last 20 years.
- rudedogg 6y agoWhat did these people do to the brand image? I guess I don't understand what it was like before this happened.
- hourislate 6y agoHarley's were synonymous with Motorcycle Gangs (Ex: Hells Angels, etc) or with young cool men (18+). All of a sudden in the 90's a lot of these 40-60 year olds started to try and recapture their youth or that coolness they never had. They started buying Harley's and dressing in Leather and making these ridiculous club patches and driving around revving their motorcycles everywhere. It was so cringe that you actually felt ashamed for them. Here is a good clip from South Park that kind of sums it all up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGyKBFCd_u4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGyKBFCd_u4

It wasn’t the hold people that ruined the brand, it was the brand marketing to Boomers for shortsighted gains. Harleys are for Boomers. Harley made sure that was the message. Now they pay for it.
