Harley-Davidson to Abandon Motorcycles

  1. Harley-Davidson to Abandon Motorcycles

    Due to a higher volume in the sale of clothing, accessories and other
    Harley-Davidson paraphernalia, coupled with a further squeeze on
    overpriced, underperforming machinery, Harley-Davidson has partnered
    with Proptronics Ltd. to produce a specialty motorcycle called
    'Stylin' Iron'. Proptronics is the company known for making fake
    appliances that are used in model homes for purposes of show only.
    In a brilliant management decision, Harley-Davidson decided to face
    the fact that the only reason most people buy their equipment is
    indeed as a fashion accessory. By building a prop motorcycle, costs
    can be dramatically cut and the new Stylin' Iron will have the look
    and feel of a real Harley motorcycle, which equipped with a recorded
    potato-potato synthesizer, smoky air pump to simulate exhaust, and
    even an adjustable rate oil leak.

    The bike is priced at under $1,200 and is available immediately.
    Sales are expected to soar as the new model will allow Harley enthusiasts
    to spend more money on leather, hats, sunglasses and jewelry due to no
    longer having to be concerned about keeping the machinery in actual
    running and riding condition.

    The expected surge in accessory sales has prompted the Milwaukee
    Company to begin talks with the American clothing designer Dickies to
    help supply genuine Harley-Davidson clothing, and K-Mart will feature
    the new Stylin' Irons in their sporting goods department.

    A spokesman for Harley-Davidson commented: 'We expect Stylin' Iron to
    be a huge success and relieve the company of having to deal with
    complaints from the minority of customers who understand
    motorcycling, and can turn full time attention to the fashion conscious
    customers who buys our product to function equally as well as the rest of
    the Harley-Davidson line of motorcycles, in a fashion sense.

    Some of our engineers who have tested the new machine claim it
    actually performs just as well on the road also, given a suitable
    downhill grade and tailwind.

    Seems to be another load of Buellshit to me
