The corporate need to be surrounded by tourist spots is evident in stupid corporate Milwaukee's Harley Davidson's idea that Chicago Cub fans are legitimate market for their over-priced machines. Paul Teutul Sr came on his podcast the other day and took some phone calls and the idea that the last remaining giant American motorcycle manufacture would pay tribute to corporate baseball and the Cubs organization by leasing storefront at ridiculous rents surprised the gruff and veteran bike builder.
Teutul Sr says Harley Davidson is kaput and its better days are behind it and that few baseball fans on game day would actually want to walk through a Harley dealer unless they served cheap beer.he also said thhat the core motercyclist enthusiast is in rural backwater country areas filled with hicks like him in orange County,New York and that riding a harley in a big city is difficut and annoying.
The dramatic transition that Chicago Cubs owner Tom Rickett's is attempting in destroying the fan experience of the neighborhood drinking tavern and monopolize beer sale sin the ball park and become a corporate rentier will destroy the Cubs popularity. Teutul Sr says Harley Davidson has trouble attracting the younger millennium crowd and the company has done its best and all it can do to promote the burning and wasteful use of fossil fuel and the oil industry. Baseball and other sports rise in popularity co-relates with the decline of motorcycling and Harley Davidson's medium age core user continues to get older and older and no amount of harley Davidson outlets near by in all ballparks and game stadiums
