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...

The Duck Song?
Is that what comes after the Llama Song & you turn into a duck?
