Haha, you're the first person I've seen use an apostrophe to show possessive, everyone else writes it as if his name is Woods. Not a big deal, just an observation.

I have wondered for year how the "Davidson" family felt about the Harley-Davidson motorcycle being referred to as "Harley". The last "Harley" family member left the company in the 80s I believe.

But really what we love the foundation was from William Harley. The Davidsons, brought the sales, direction, and business sense to the company. The engineering, in my opinion the heart, is Harley.
With Triumph announcing they will be going factory direct and Harley closing dealerships… In a “what If” I imagine the two merging not as companies but as dealer network service centers for both brands world wide. With both they’d have a better chance of a sustainable dealer network for factory certified service centers, more support from both as clientele and even bike culture. Harley has their Lynyrd Skynyrd sleeveless shirt crowd, and triumph has their gentlemen races. Imagine if all that stuff was combined and mixed together, two strong bike cultures with good loyal customers. Again it’s just a “what if.”

I've wondered that too.
