Put 5 or 6 cup holders on the scooter. American sales will soar.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

How to get rid of a stigma: 1. Hire a well known celebrity (likely one that we older folk don’t like and feel is ruining America. Lol) to push their product in a commercial.
2. Product placement: Have their product strategically placed (in a positive Manner) in any one of the popular movies that are aimed at young people.

Here is a video that I think probably helped.. but there needs to be more of them.  I'm 70 years old and enjoy riding my pink Buddy 125 into the middle of a Harley meet..

I would worry more about the future of Harley, as the old guys die off.  I sold my Triumph 650 last year that I had for 50 years, and now have more than 20 scooters..

Good line in the middle of this video "going 38 Dan":



  If this is the first time you have seen the video, you need to "get with it".  The future is scooters...
