Guess he doesn't want to be around during the buyout.

Why do so many HD riders bitch and moan about how much they hate their HD? Go buy a victory or BMW or Honda or build your own. Nobody is holding you back. I don't like chevys. I also don't ride around in one bitching about how much I hate it, because I didn't buy one.

I believe there is a daughter as well who is Karen Davidson (former owner of the Pistons). She was on a woman's rider short with Tricia Helfer (blonde from Battlestar Galactica who rides a purple Rocker) and Jillian Michaels (the fitness guru who rides a Vrod).

Most of the Harleys were unceremoniously thrown out during the AMF and buy out years. No love for "Old Bill's" descendants by the Davidsons when it came to $$$$
