Let me give you a clue, since you don't have one. That comment by you is representative of the exact mindset that Harley is trying to change, INTERNALLY and Externally. Your old 1960's mentality is not cool anymore, and really hasn't been for a while now. YOU are the one folks are laughing at. The times have changed and you still think it's 1960.
There's no possible way you could be more wrong. Look in your mirror and work out your own issues, instead of projecting them on me.

I wasn't even born in 1960. And I have never worn a sleeveless vest with HOG patches on it. And I didn't buy my first Harley until 2016, so -- you're 100% off base on every one of your assumptions about me.

And I know plenty of women who have more ***** than some man who's terrified that "people might think I'm not smart if I buy a Harley!!!"

So try again. Put your prejudices and assumptions down and listen to what I ACTUALLY said: if someone is so scared that other people will think they're not a smart buyer for buying a Harley, then they don't have the (metaphorical) ***** to ride a Harley. So go buy some Japanese product and wrap yourself up in a fuzzy warm blanket of "other people will think I'm smart" if that's what floats your boat.

Nevermind, in your case, that WAS a STUPID suggestion on my part.
Yes I’ve read about him very skilled long distance rider many awards and contributes to the motorcycle community as a whole. AND ?? Because he said that it means what ?? If he even made that statement.

Your correct that was a VERY STUPID suggestion and still , so is that statement.

I have noticed. I know all too well. People were quick to point out the 16% gain or whatever it was the other day. My point is when the market was up 24 percent last year yet Harley did half that in a booming economy. I have noticed companies have cut dividends. Great companies for the most part haven’t. People defend the stock cause they the brand. Well the stock sucks. No one has yet given me a reason to buy it. They hit and run point out it was up such and such today. Yet fail to look at the last three years.i got stocks that have cut. Not many. Most of the those companies (most) aren’t worth owning.

Most here care more about the bike than the day to day stock price. Maybe you should post on the day trader forum.

what is the name of the thread? Maybe you can inform me on that. Maybe I couldn’t read it right. I thought talking about Harley stock would be perfectly acceptable. Can you please tell me where I erred. You sure didn’t have a problem talking Wall Street a few post ago. Now all of a sudden we don’t wanna talk about it? Weird

It’s a pretty crappy stock to own currently.

Next question?
