To be clear it's not really the Harley bikes I would be glad to see go away as much as the riders on them. Harley's market is getting old and dying out. Young riders are sick of the Harley attitude and the overpriced poor performing bikes. It's pretty well publicized. The only sad part about Harley withering away is thousands of Wisconsin workers losing their jobs over time.

Agree about the employees at H.D. Unfortunately H.D. deserves the same fate as Xerox, Kodak, Pontiac and Oldsmobile. The new C.E.O. (Mr. Golfcart) should have his ass kicked for tossing out Buell.
