I always get a kick out of watching all these Harley owners bash Harley. And then go throw a leg over their Harley. Lol!

Default Blind leading the Blind

Company loosing money and sales slipping. Solution, promotion more chiefs. Value added, nothing continue driving cost. This is what happens when a family run business looses any connection with it's founders. Too many chiefs not enough Indians the.old saying goes.

amusing video ..................................but i don't have enough info to insult this new guy involved in brand strategy i am surprised so many of you do have that data.
But it is always clever to insult someone you don't know or understand what he does for a living very clever,

I love my Suzuki motorsicles, they are both keepers...just sayin.

Why is this the blind leading the blind? Hell, this geek might just be the best thing HD has ever done...might be better than the invention of cotton socks.

Ya' never know...

A smart brand manager would show up at events and rallies, you know meet and greets, to learn what people want and learn their opinions so he can better shape the company's product. Should be no different than his other products he has promoted right?

From what I've read online, Grimmer is damn good at being an "idea man" and then turning that idea into a product that makes some serious cash.
I have no idea if he rides or not, but his resume is pretty impressive.
I just hope he's a motorcyclist with a strong passion for riding.

Grimmer founded Plum Organics in 2007 in Emeryville, Calif. The company took off when it decided to package unexpected combinations of pureed fruits and vegetables in squeezable pouches. Grimmer sold the company to Campbell's in 2013 for $249 million.
