Now there's a statement begging to be backed up. So you know how to look up filings at the SEC. Big deal on the stock value, you shure you don't want to throw something in there about the $2 gain they had just today, a lot of stocks gained mad intrinsic value since 2009, and a lot of companies reported losses in 2009, hell I lost so much money in 2009 it made me physically sick, the whole US economy damn near collapsed, remember. Unless you're part of the executive inner circle, you only think you know whats going on at the HD corporate level, the same way I think they pull absurd profit. If your skills of due dilligence are so exceptional, I would think your time would be better spent on the financial forums giving out free investing advice.
So as chairman of the profit police who pass judgement on what profit is appropriate, what level of profit is permissible in your wisdom? I at least provided some facts for comparison.

I think Harley first needs to get rid of somebody that is trying to think like the auto companies.. Secondly, I think they need to axe some of their models. I know having options is nice but come on really..? Do we really need eight different models of sportsters? Pretty sure one 883 and one 1200 are the same as the rest.
Edit: They cut some of the more popular bikes on their list, IE: Night Train, ST Custom, Dyna Low Rider in exchange for more sportsters and that god awful ****ing V-rod.. Bring back the bikes that people fought over and get rid of these giddy little toys.

Lets face it, the younger generation isn't exactly making big bank. The dark custom models are their attempt but they are still priced to high for most youth IMHOAlso if they could stop producing all the skinny fit shirts I would most appreciate it. I wear XL shirts and have to buy a 3X to fit in them stupid *** shirts.

My bike blew a primary seal four times and dumped four pans of oil out on the ground before they got it fixed. 2010 SG

Moco wanted to screw their workers, cut pay and benefits and part of the workforce. This is what we get in return. You don't think the average joe building these things gives a ****, do you?
