Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz to Retire in 2025Jochen Zeitz, CEO of Harley-Davidson, announced plans to retire in 2025 after five years at the helm. Zeitz introduced the "Hardwire" strategy in 2021, focusing on high-margin products and modernizing the brand to appeal to younger riders. Despite these efforts, the company forecasts flat to declining profits for 2025, citing tempered consumer spending on big-ticket items. Harley's stock has risen over 11% since Zeitz took charge, though it has underperformed compared to the S&P 500's 77% climb during the same period.​Reuters2.

This is a fantastic podcast from the vault way back in 2013.This past weekend we had a blast down at the Red River Gorge in beautiful Kentucky. This rally was put on by Logan and Amanda Miller of Rust Revival (http://www.rustrev.com/). Posted as a Do The Ton event on www.dotheton.com it went from May 17th to the 20th. We rode twisty mountain roads, drank I think ever kind of beer known to man, and ate delicious food (all cooked by wonder woman Amanda herself). It was great to see familiar faces from past DTT events as well as meet many new people. We can't thank Logan and Amanda enough for providing us with such a great location and such a great weekend. Of course our trusty R2 unite came along and many of the attendees joined us for a podcast out on the porch of our beautiful lodgings. Please enjoy and be sure to check out Rust Revivals website for some very cool and unique vintage motorcycle related apparelSupport the showRemember folks...Ride Fast and Take Chances! check out our Youtube channel at htt
