Really? So you're saying you wouldn't be interested in a RoadKing for say $10,000, or a Low Rider for $7,500 both very capable bikes with plenty of power and a fit and finish second to none. Maybe time for you to rethink your position and give them another look see.

Sometimes shaking up management with people outside the industry who have a different perspective helps. The other 99% of the time it doesn't.

The great stock picker Peter Lynch from Fidelity said years ago : invest in a company any idiot can run because sooner or later an idiot will run that company. Is HD getting close to it this time ???
