🤣🤣🤣 now that is funny!

Very well put! My bike is gonna be “aged out soon” and I do all of my maintenance or use a local shop. As I mentioned, I’m not giving my opinion on the actions of HD…but there are ways to address things and I guess the MOCo got the message based on yesterday’s statement. But yeah, I don’t want to see anyone loose their job over something that could be avoided. Thanks for stopping by!

@@BryTheBiker IDK where he comes from. 🤣

Both are fantastic bikes! I had a 2001 XL 1200, great little bike. I’m on my 3rd now and it’s 2016 so it will be put out to rest soon too. Like you I typically do my own work or go to a local shop. I did see HD released a statement today pulling back on some of the decisions they have made. So, maybe they are getting the message…I don’t know. Most companies have or are going in the same direction. Thanks for stopping by.

I think every moto company including automotive has gone or is going the same way. But yeah, I don’t want to see anyone loose business or a job. Too much of that going around.

It looks like they may have gotten the message. HD released a statement today pulling back on some of the DEI stuff…we will see.

+@ronshyken9998 well, I was trying to focus on the word boycott not what is causing it. That’s where I said I’ll keep my opinion mine. Anyway, looks like HD may have changed their stance. There is a letter out but, it’s a lot of legal talk. However, it is in response to all the negative responses on Social Media.

@@Ucmpigs I hope so . Be safe

@@aarondeere Indian is a solid motorcycle. I’ve rented the 3 top touring motorcycles. I say go for it. Indian has been ahead of Harley with regard to technology for years now. However, don’t do it because “Harley is Woke”…Indian is just as “Woke”. I heard they may be getting rid of the Iconic Indian Head Logo.

@@nochin8783 I haven’t been in there in years. They still have a lot full of bikes. You know Bone Shakers is gone. There is. Dunkin Donuts there now🤣

Oh, and Harley-Davidson said there won’t be any jobs lost because of moving the production of Rev Max engines to Thailand. They said they want to focus on the Grand American Touring bikes in the US. Hopefully, they stick to their word and no jobs are lost here.

@@GnarlyZEUS thanks! Yeah, some people just need something to be upset about. Sounds good, I scoot around the 757 whenever I have time.

@@GnarlyZEUS yeah, it’s one of those “we will see” things. I don’t pretend to be a business guru. If I was I wouldn’t be riding a 2016 Ultra🤣🤣

@@sidthompso8097 dude! Your comment proves my point🤣 I quit playing “I know you are but what am I” a long time ago. Thanks for driving this home for me👍

I’m not sure I follow you but, thanks for stopping by.

What? 🤣😂

Agreed. There is a video of some dude blowing up his HD but, yeah I don’t see an influx of used HD’s.

@@Ucmpigs I viewed the same video I believe he owns a gun company. It was a great marketing idea. as for myself I have a Indian Challenger 21 and a CVO road glide 15 I’ll get all my parts on line but it’s not a boycott I just want to save my money like I always did and use local motorcycle shops. Just my two cents

+@guttertierbot maybe there’s a cream for it? Lol

Yes they are! Great people down there. Small town feel.

@@Ucmpigs they sure do. Especially with the homecoming event for the last carrier that just came home. And whoever reads this Ask for Frenchie! He's the man.

@@archasaurus thanks Arch! Yeah, HD has been watered down for years.

@@user-co7uv5gr1t funny thing is one of my local HD dealers had a parking lot FULL of people this past weekend for an event. Bell ringing, sold tags…IDK man. I think people are just believing the hype.

@@geo.037 hmmmm…I mean you are kinda right. I admit I really don’t know why everyone is so upset about something about 90% of companies do in America. I mean, no one is making videos about Kohl’s, Converse, Toyota, GM…etc. going woke. And actually everyone is mis using Woke also. Woke is being aware or Racial inequality. I mean we all should be woke right…but hey…what do I know. Thanks for the comment!

Couldn’t agree more…but just talking and not doing is worse. Stand for what you believe in and give 100%. Don’t stop with HD, take a look around you. GM, Ford, Toyota, Walmart, Khols,…etc all have done the same. So have at it. Stand for what you believe in.

+@igorpotocnik13 I mean, I’m not the smartest man but, I have no clue what you just said…something about you like balls? Ok, though guy…I’m sure that’s exactly what you did. Maybe you should clean the cum and Cheetos dust off your keyboard before your mom comes in the basement.

I do…just one at a time sometimes.

Hot is Hot my friend. I’ve been to TX, Africa, Kuwait..etc. the southeast has its own kind of hot.

🤟✊👊

Yeah, there was a strong electrical burn smell when I cracked the primary open.

That’s a good stance man! In the end does it really impact you and me the consumer. Companies do what they need to do to make money. If they make money we save money. Otherwise the cost is passed to us. If we analyzed every product we used we would basically have to go back a couple hundred year and do without. It’s the price of progress. All we can do is live our lives the best way we are comfortable with. Like I said, be able to look in the mirror. Thanks Man!

@@Ucmpigs well put.

You may want to research what companies are doing the same. I did…it’s shocking. GM, Toyota, Walmart, Converse, Kohl’s…are just a few…so, as I mentioned. So, to select just 1 or 2 is not a boycott.

I know. I can't avoid them all, but I can abstain from buying Harley Davidson products. We are doing it. Call it what you want.

@@duncanwalton5358 I can respect that. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh I know the definition and the origin. Basically we all should be Woke. If you go by the origin of the word.

You may want to research Indian. They have done the same.

Bingo! Bells still ringing everywhere.

And that my friend is the way!

Well, this is my second set. Absolutely ZERO problems. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

@@Ucmpigs if you know the owner and could pass along the message, I've been waiting 16 days for a response from customer service regarding being shipped the wrong bars and no response. But lots of activity on their insta account. I got raw dogged by these guys. Still burns

Don’t know them but, did you try messaging on IG?

Well, depends on if you believe the hype. I would recommend visiting your local dealer. Take a look at the number of bike with Sold signs.

@@2ndprotectsthe1st27 and that is exactly what I’m talking about. We all have a choice. Now me, if I feel that strong about something I totally cut it off. However, in the world we live in almost every commodity has taken the high road.

Thanks! Yeah, there is so much going on here. Funny thing it’s all around us. Pretty much every commodity in the US.

@@jeffstearns9056 and that’s why they are not the only motorcycle company. However, if you research they all have pretty much gone this route.

@@jeffstearns9056 it's over for harley

Hot dogs are great but a FREE hotdog!!! Fantastic!!!!

Thanks Bry! Maybe Gold Plated.

👍🤘🖖

And that is a good stance…as part of my research for this topic I looked at other companies who are doing this same. It’s shocking! To a point of someone truly opposes this they basically would have to move into the mountains and live off the land. Almost every major automotive company, store chain, clothing company is doing the same. But like I said, I respect and support anyone who stands up for their beliefs.

Yep, make your bed…you got to lay in it. All you can do is do what you think is right. Gotta be able to look in that mirror.

True story.

Let that good company go

Could not have said it better my friend we let this shit happen if you don't stand up for your rights and what you believe in it's over just like what their trying to do with our 2nd amendment right use your rights or lose your rights

@@sidthompso8097 that’s the point. Words (first amendment) are just words. Actions make things happen. No one is truly boycotting anything. They are publicizing it.

You know, I almost went there. People are mis-using “woke” too. This term started as being aware of racial prejudice. Based on the definition we should all be “Woke”

@@Ucmpigs Exactly!

This is a great point! However, a few years ago when athletes were kneeling during the National Anthem same stuff was going on. A lot of “American Patriots” giving lip service but, every Sunday they sat in front of the TV wearing NFL jerseys. A lot of talk and no action.

That’s the beauty of having choices. I feel the same about Chrysler products. I had too many bad experiences with them and will never own another.

Yeah, back order has been a problem. I’ve moved to Drag Specialties for a lot of my replacement parts.

@@Ucmpigs well one thing I know for me is once the bike is paid off things are gonna drastically change for me..being the warranty will run out at that time I'll then look at other options for myself at that point.

I hear you man! That dang ice cream machine is alway broke!

@@Ucmpigs exactly 💯 make ice cream machines great again

I was in a McDonalds once, and it had just finished raining. Suddenly, a rainbow appeared. I'm never eating at McDonald's again.

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you sir!
