Every time people come out and say they're gonna boycott a company... I remind them: if you boycott every company that disagrees with YOUR values, you'll end up homeless, naked, and hungry. We have bigger problems to worry about... like replacing rear tires and GoPros. Ride safe, my friend!
@@RoadReality 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's a low blow John 🤣🤣 the tire is good in dry weather 😀. Yeah you're right about boycotting, but, but, if its a product you can live without, you can still send a message with a boycott. If a company thinks it can do whatever they want without retribution, they'll continue. Sometimes we need to send a message. Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling for a boycott, I'm just saying. At the end of the day, they need us, we don't need them. Bikes are a luxury in America, not a need. It's not like food or water. So, if they continue the community can turn to kawasaki 🤣🤣🤣
@@AkaBull That wasn't MEANT to be a low blow... but tires are literally the only part of your bike that should touch the ground... so I get rather hyper-focused on them. As for the boycott - you're not wrong. Budweiser, AFAIK, still hasn't recovered from their ill-begotten PR campaign last year. We CAN send a message. But like you, there's an Indian dealer too far for comfort from me, and the Big 4 dealer is also... not close. Harley has one 20 mins from the house, easy peasy. It's also the product I prefer, company shenanigans not withstanding. But if you look at the other M/C companies... they probably have something we'd disagree with, too. As for M/Cs being a luxury... sure they are, but they're also wind therapy, which makes them more of a need... so a waed? a nant? a need-want? want-need? Anyway, where was I?
It's sad, effing sad when a descendant of what was until recently (1967) legal (in 30 states) systemic oppression that is still rife in USAA society has the gall to tun that oppression on a marginalized segment of society that includes black men & women! Bear in mind Mr. Black Man; The dog guards Masuh's house but it still sleeps outside." And here's a salient quote from a famous black woman: "Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is." Lastly, your bald tire is a clear indicator than you aren't a real motorcyclist. That bald-in-the-middle tire speaks volumes about your inabilities. Slight and prejudice doesn't make you a good citizen, neighbor or companion.
@@Ramon51650 Hey thanks for the comment. I was born black, I didn’t wake up one morning out of the blue and decided today is the day I’m gonna be black. As for my tire, can you teach me to ride, oh and buy me a tire please 🙏🏽
@@AkaBull : There aare very capaable instructors on YT: motojitsu, motocontrol, and proridercentraltexas - the last is a Texas motorcycle police officer. So there is zero excuse for a lack of motorcycle skill. I'm 74, so I hail from the era of segregated everything, and yes I'm black. What I learned along the way is that coming from oppression while turning around and doing the same serves no one. You're aa puppet for those who would still deny you rights. No, I won't buy you a tire; not for someone who doesn't provide his ride with minimal safety maintenance.
@@snooperpuristjailbirdstoplight So let me ask you. How do you feel about all this woke stuff that’s going on. These gay parades with naked folks walking around in front of kids. Here’s my thing, we all have the right to live and be our selves. I don’t push my christianity on you and you don’t push your life style on me.
@AkaBull in my experience Christianity has always been shoved onto me all my life. We had to learn the lord's prayer since we were 4 or 5 years old, missionaries knocking on our door asking to convert to god, going to family baptisms and other church going events. I don't have any ill will to Christianity or any religion really, but it was definitely pushed upon me at such a young age whether I wanted to hear it or not, so the lgbt stuff being a lot more common now is just what the church has already been doing for centuries, and while I have my criticisms of some elements of pride parades now, I would still consider myself a strong ally of their movement and their desires. Same way I have my own problems with Christianity but again I have no ill will to any Christians as long as they keep open minded and show me and others respect
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but also keep in mind, you were 4 and it was your parents guiding you the best way they knew how at the time. As we get older we can make our own decisions. Just like turned away from church when you got older, I also don’t go as often as when I was younger. The church has done some really awful things in the past in the name of God. But so has every other religion. So I guess you’re saying it’s now time for the Gay religion to have its time. (Kidding) All I’m saying is it’s 2024, you do you, let me do me and let’s not force our beliefs on each others. Peace love and chicken grease.
@@AkaBull it’s still illegal to be gay in many countries and there is still discrimination against LGBTQ people. I’m straight but I see the pride marches and rainbow flags as a way of celebrating gay and trans people and fighting for those who are still persecuted or repressed just for being themselves. We just had our pride weekend and it’s something we’re proud of .
People not wanting to get involved or be bothered with politics as well as misinformed voting is why we are dealing with all this nonsense.. Many people who don’t want to get involved or be bothered end up voting for the lunacy because they are misinformed. I always viewed the motorcycle community, especially those that ride Harley’s as being comprised of alpha males. Albeit not angels but there was things that were not tolerated, messing with children being at the top of that list. No matter how much of an outlaw a Harley rider was you don’t mess with children. I own 2 Harley’s. Am I going to sell my bikes and buy something else? No.. However, I intended to buy a new street glide next year, but that is no longer happening. I will ride what I already have and support good companies in the aftermarket to keep them going. Both my bikes were built long before the current moron CEO. I would rather support smaller companies and their workers anyway.
@@lanejohnson7656 well said Lane. I agree with you 100%. Don't get me wrong when I said I don't like politics. That does not mean I'm not going out and voting or putting my money towards projects that aline with my believe system. I have not and I will not vote for any of this crap. Like I also said I the video, when it's time to buy a new bike, I'll see how that landscape stands and I'll judge from there. Even if it means buying an Indian or Yamaha. Thanks for the comment brother, ride safe out there, we need more like you 🙏🏽
No you're not as a matter of fact 6 months from now you won't even remember this. Stop jumping "just because bandwagon" Let me give you examples of that remember Budlight, Kellogs boycott, Truckers for Trump vowing to not deliver to NYC, real estate investors leaving NYC in protest of the Trump conviction etc etc.
I know the feeling, last year I went hard on them when the news came out. This year I just decided to be a little more reserve. I this at the end of the day, people need to be preached to, they'll do what's best for them.. voting with their dollars is just one of many options.
Bullmoto your comment on this matter was.mildly coded but you CLEARLY made your opinion on this matter known in some of your statements. If you truly wanted no part of this matter it would have taken you literally 5 seconds to say so but you kept leaving little lingering comments on your true feelings. My bestfriend works for a Indian dealership in the DFW area and he says so far their sales are still the same and they have not seen a flood of protesting HD riders in their dealership at all. Folks, stop jumping on bandwagons so readily, ESPECIALLY wagons driven by people with ulterior motives. I bet none of you took 5 minutes to research the instigator of this situation and what he is about. NOTHING I MEAN NOTHING was affecting your HD life before this "revelation" so why now? HDs have looooong been used AND associated with hardcore ruthless murdering law breaking biker gangs and their way of life that I'm sure you don't agree with so why no outrage at HD then? Many of your bike have electrical components from China were are the pitchfork and torches? NOTHING? So you're okay with cosigning a lawless organization that feeds on fellow Americans and okay with being a PRC sympathizer but how dare. fellow Americans be included in the promotion and growth your beloved "American" iron stallion because a single racist homophobic person ( literally) got you to drink his kool-aid? Stop being so easily led folks. One year from today (8/18/24) god willing I'm coming back to this post to prove my point so mark your calendar, Nuff said.
Dim I see you are clearly upset over this and that’s understandable. However, this is TH-cam, don’t take it so personally. As a content creator I have to make a video even if I don’t pick a side, which you said I clearly did with my lingering comments. This is what content creators do, they jump on trends, not bandwagons. I just released another video and I addressed all your comments in that video.
@AkaBull Not upset at all but pissed at how we showthe rest of the world how easily and I do mean EASILY we can be led. I truly admire HD's as a brand but I ride Hondas and have done so for over 45 years. To cosign or further a homophobic racist's agenda for "content" and likes makes you no better than him. I assure you I am not mad and all my nerves are fully intact but what I am is focused and never so easily led. I edited my original comment please read it again if you would with particular attention to the end See you next year god willing, Take care.
Have your say i think your are right everyone has a right to live but when its gets jammed down my throat is when i arc up same as that Vegan shit if you wanna be vegan thats fine but dont tell me to stop eating animals it will make me wanna eat more :).
Lmao, that’s exactly how I feel. You do you, but don’t try to shove it down my throat and tell me I should love the taste. The LGBT said they just wanted the right to get married. It went from that to men in little girls restroom, partying in the street naked and drag queens at schools. If this is the future of Harley count me out, I’m not selling my bike over it, but I probably won’t be buying a new one from them either. Thanks brother 🤛🏼🙏🏽
What are you talking about - corporations are obliged to account for Diversity, inclusion and Equity if not to limit their consumer market - I have seen some very interesting individuals ride Harleys, and then interesting Individuals who pretend to be Law Makers in Legislative Bodies and in Congress, but where their own excess baggage seems to leaping out of the closet at them.

@@ClassicRider That’s basically what I said. I’m not getting involved, but also everyone has the right to live and do their thing. But wait, why all of a sudden, companies need to put it into their bylaws this Diversity Inclusion stuff. why can’t companies just respect their employees, treat them fairly and keep the government and big money corporations out of it.
