When the yanks do something they tend to do it to overkill proportions, which I admire, as long as there is no Harley logo on it the red mist stays at bay.

If natural selection is the yardstick then say good bye to anything that isn't made in Japan.
There is a market for Harleys, they aint my thing and obviously not yours but I would have thougth the fact you ride a bike made by a small manufacturer that should also not be with us financially would make you sympathise with HD.
