Brief interview with Harley's CEO - Jim Ziemer.

And talk about HD corporate backpedaling on the whole exhaust issue:

Why are Harleys always louder than other motorcycles?
"...Unfortunately, there are some customers who like the louder motorcycles..."

 

"unfortunately"!!!!

nice..............way to throw 95% of your customers under the bus.

sorry there Zimmie, but.....uh........is that your hand under the EPA's skirt there?

"oh no........we don't condone that.....loud's just not right......well, not anymore anyway. "



so, how much do you really love your customers?

your lively hood?

your paycheck?


try this on for size-

"UNFORTUNATELY.......WE ALL THINK YOUR KIND OF AN A-HOLE NOW"

 

NOT TO MENTION, arguably THE most notable part of what make your product so marketable!

or did you forget about the 5 FREAKIN YEARS YOU SPENT TRYING TO PATENT THAT SOUND


MORON!



i think o'le willie needs to fire this guys PR director!

 

sorry, i don't mean to rant but that whole comment really steams my clams

it almost makes me want to take back the bike i just bought 2 days ago..............................NAH!

 

Yup, I feel like pukin'. This guy makes over 11 grand a freakin week and bashes his customer base...niiiice.

It's just so freakin' nice to see even owning a Harley has become a racial/gender statement...I'm movin' to Switzerland

Wolf

 

i really hope someone over there reads this forum and sees the response to this...........it ought to be good.

i may just write a letter.

 

Its all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ guys....always has and always will be!


Ride Safe!

 

Good grief, how do you "reach out to minorities?" And what minorities are you talking about? Either you like to ride or you don't.

Maybe I won't go to the next Harley event. Wouldn't want to make the place too caucasian.

Just what we need. Some politically correct CEO who doesn't like loud motorcycles. I'm not talking straight pipes but I got news for you Mr. Ziemer, Harley Davidson owes their success to that sound.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

 

You can never trust a suit

 

H-D's CEO must be a f-ckin' poser...
