Predictions for 2022

As 2021 comes to a close, I’m offering some predictions, for the coming year. Feel free to join in.

Cel phone manufacturers, will introduce new technology, to combat driving and mobile phone use. This new feature, will cause the microphone and speaker on your cel phone, to stop working, anytime the vehicle exceeds 3 mph. Distracted driving accidents will fall by 94%.

Harley Davidson’s Marketing department, in conjunction with the sales department, will offer a new trade in promotion early next year. The incentive, is just for T shirts. Customers will get full 100% retail value, minus laundering charges, for any HD T-shirt, traded on a new 2022 model T shirt. Dealers report a huge success, with literally hundreds of thousands of used T Shirts moving through the stores. Harley Davidson is so pleased, they plan to add sweat shirts, bandanas, and more to the 100% trade in program.

BMW hires a Jackson Pollack protege, to head their motorcycle design team. Motorcycle buyers are perplexed by the new designs, and aren’t sure if the bikes in the showroom are motorcycles, or are rolling Petri dishes. The faithful buy them all.

Over at Piaggio, the European Union, desperate for a financial stabilization, reaches out to the iconic motorcycle company, and instills some common sense, best practices. They sack all of the current executives, and middle management incompetent staff. Eric Buell is hired to oversee Dealer retention and growth in the US and other key markets. Within 9 months of Buell’s hiring, Moto Guzzi dealerships now rival the number of Honda stores, with at least 9 dealers in every state in the US, as well as throughout Canada. Buell pays special attention to re signing dealers that had left due to frustration over warranty issue.

Keeping fingers crossed to see if any of this happens.
 
Less and less reality based predictions as all predictions will be pushed out to how the benefits will be spectacular in 2032.

:huh
