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.

Having worked with the Japanese for many years in the micro-electronics business I have good experience of them and I can assure you that what you say is not the case - they are not the yardstick and they are not the best by a long chalk. No one is. They are nt particularly good engineers or designers but, they are fairly decent at mass-production.
