I'll throw this in the mix. In today's business news ther was an article about MOCO selling the motorcycles in India and possible production of cycles overseas, possibly Asia area. Don't know how old that is but it was a first for me. Remember, the CEO came from a company that makes auto parts overseas.

Plenty of other guys in the C-suites and board are Harley guys.
It has all the looks of a good balance.

Until he gives us all a reason to worry, I wouldn't. His non-motorcycle background is an asset, if anything. He can see all the assets of the brand, to include its history/legacy and loyal customer base (and all the collateral merchandising they support) without any emotional attachment. Any smart businessman would not compromise anything that gives the brand value.

When it get to the point of worrying its too late... If the ball starts rolling the wrong direction it will be almost impossible to stop...
Pretty much the same thing they (the new Management) told us at Delphi, the GM spin-off, Don't worry, we'll be at the top in no time...
Now that they got the government to take over there pensions for all retires and cancelled Mgt's Insurance. Even with concessions made several yrs ago, new hires at $12 an hr and no benifits to save the company.
So much for the BEAN counters.. Its just a step for them...
And the ole Golden Parachute...
