This whole thread is just a thinly veiled attempt by Keithy's alter ego to interject politics into General.

Sears is dying... but life goes on.
Hechinger died...but life goes on.
MoCo survives or not... life goes on.
If all these “HD is doomed!” stories & threads bother you, I’d suggest some therapy. I have stock in both Polaris & HD. Neither one is doing well right now but I’m not screaming on the internet “THE END IS NIGH!”
FYI- I went to the Int’n’al Motorcycle show in Cleveland this past weekend. The line to test ride the Zero electric bike was pretty damn long. Electric bikes are part of life. Just ride & enjoy what you own.

Does anyone seriously think HD would be a healthy company, if only for those darned tariffs?
This is a company with serious, structural issues. They will either figure it out, or they won't, but nothing that happens in Washington is going to make much difference either way.
