I think this is about the 3rd thread I've read on this. Yes everything sux right now but it will get better. Harley isn't going anywhere. The economy will get better.

These are tough times, and it will get worse before it gets better, but the name of the game is liquidity and trying to hold on (stay afloat) before the economy gets better!

It's everywhere, Harley will keep going. The stock is cheap today, I am thinking of buying some now as in a few years it will be strong again.
