Default Going in the right direction?

Wall Street Journal reports that new HD president is giving up on attracting new riders and sticking to its aging customer base of big, heavy and expensive motorcycles. Giving up on India, as well. Guessing that means the Street Rods are dead. Never saw one in my Madison WI dealership. I get how this adds up for the bottom line; but for the future?
