H-D Advisory Community Update
« on: February 17, 2017, 06:00:45 PM »

Anyone else dropped from the HD Advisory Community today or is it just me?

Just received...

Dear valued Harley-Davidson Advisory Community member,

For more than a century Harley-Davidson has built connections with riders from all around the world. Listening to you, our riders, has been essential in helping us to deliver the products, services and experiences our customers value.

You have played an important role in helping us understand the needs of our customers. During your time on the H-D Advisory Panel/Community, you have provided us with your thoughts on over 300 different topics. This feedback has gone directly to various teams in the organization and has influenced decisions related to products, marketing and events just to name a few. On behalf of Harley-Davidson, we extend our sincerest gratitude for all you have done as a member of our research community.

We want to inform you that the time has come for us to move forward from the Harley-Davidson Advisory Community as a way to collect feedback. We will be building off the success of the Advisory Community and will broaden our efforts to reach customers and enthusiasts through a variety of other methods.

Again, thank you for the time you have spent with us, and the opinions you have offered. As a valued member of the H-D family, you will continue to play an important role in representing the voice of the rider.

Though we won't be asking for your feedback through the Community going forward, we encourage you to share your experiences and enthusiasm for riding at your local dealership, events/rallies, on the H-D social network sites and with your friends and family.

Thank you for inspiring us to deliver exceptional products and memorable experiences to our customers.

See you on the road!
H-D Research Team

Oh man, you pissed them off.  Next the guys in the black (and orange) helicopters will be hovering and guys will rappel down and take your bike(s).  You poor bastard.

I've been fired!
At my age I try to think of it as "retired". :D :D Many times the question(s) in the survey would be regarding when I would be ready to purchase a new bike... guess me saying "no time soon" didn't sit well. :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Me too, like Groucho Marx used to say "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member "
To be perfectly honest I truly didn't enjoy the new forum, I liked the old surveys better.

Well there you go. I got the arse as well. Not unexpected but not earthshattering, I think I will live without the need to visit the crying room. I just hope they don't want to take back all the money, parts, riding gear, new models  and garishly decorated motor-clothes they gave me for my sterling contributions. I would feel unappreciated.

Cheers Tom

It's OK getting fired in my opinion they really did not ask the right questions.

Maybe they're following someone else's lead and moving to twitter

Me to Gary.  It took me 66 years to learn to let somebody else take the hit on new.  You know the deal that I got on my 13 CVO Ultra Classic a couple of years ago.  This past week I bought a 14 F-350, Lariat, FX-4, Longbed, Crew Cab for $36k.  Met the seller at my credit union with the original window sticker.....the truck booked out at $48k!  Also bought a used 17(he bought it this past May) Grand Design Momentum 376TH for $85k that booked for $110k....so another great deal.  And the 5th wheel has the extended warranty!   Finally, my karma is coming back to me after years of losses on my sales. :2vrolijk_21:

I received an email a few months ago stating the "old" advisory panel was going away and asking me to sign up for the "new" panel. This was June or so of 2016. I didn't sign up for the new panel just because of the same responses I was giving as the d00d. Nope, not planning on purchasing bike, clothes, accessories, livestock, insurance, bling, leather jackets or anything else. I had all I needed and more of HD branded items. 
I originally thought this was a great idea but the more questions about buying there were, the more I realized it was as I expected, a ploy to sell.
I'm betting that they really didn't care what was said in the panel but it was nice participating for a bit.
