https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/local/harley-davidson-cuts-ties-with-west-tennessee-dealership/TX2Z4VOFPNB3TBBBTK6IR5PJ5U/Harley Davidson has apparently cut ties with a Dealership in TN due to statements that the owner supposedly posted on social media. Honda and Polaris are said to be cutting ties as well. But I found part of Harley Davidson's statement particularly interesting:
Racism, hate or intolerance have no place in our world including within the Harley-Davidson community, employees, dealers or riders. We recently became aware of racist comments posted on one of our dealer owner’s Facebook page and immediately started a review process. We will not tolerate this type of behavior in our network, and we have announced that the dealer owner in question will no longer be part of our dealer network. Harley-Davidson is committed to diversity and inclusion. We strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone.
So, is there a racist exam that future Harley buyers will have to pass before they can purchase a new Harley?
If someone owns a Harley and they are identified as or self identify as a racist will they be required to sell their bike?
Will Harley Davidson be obligated to purchase the bike back from them?
I just found it very interesting that they chose to include "Riders" in their statement.
In my mind someone didn't think that through very well.
