A lot of people have that attitude about Harley. Me, I want them to be successful. Harley is a great American Mo.Co. In the past they have been very innovative and in my opinion they need to be privately held so Wall Street doesn't make the decisions based on previous success. The reality is that the market age group for the big Harleys is dying out. Todays youth doesn't want a big bagger all chromed out, they want options. Plus Harley makes such good machines they last forever, so no reason to purchase a new one.
They need to adapt, hence the Livewire makes great sense.
I'm pulling for them. We need an American based Motorcycle Company.
