... To Tim's point, HD is at the whims of it's stockholders and analysts...
No, the real point is HD makes the perfect bike for its customers. Think about it.
I do not think it right to bash any rider of any motorcycle for visa-versa. Ride what you like and I will ride what I like. I do not need to bash someone else's bike to make me feel better.
Yes, HD may not handle if you want to play "speed racer," but they are excellant cruisers. People buy new cars modeled after cars of the 60s & 70s. Some people want bikes modeled after older cruisers. Who are we to say they are wrong?
Personally, I want to see HD not only survive, but thrive - just as I want all the manufactures to thrive. It is not just HD having problems. Motorcycle industry as a hole is suffering. Any manufacturer leaving the market will hurt cycling as a hole - especially Harley.
