Oh, and I forgot to add here...
There is an argument to be made that "The Faithful"(meaning the dyed-in-the-wool H-D rider) actually owe the "Bowling Bowl Company" a debt of gratitude for keeping H-D going at that time, as word was if they hadn't bought the company when they did, H-D might have also gone the way of the Dodo bird due to their financial troubles at the time of the purchase.
However, there are also many others out there who dispute this claim.
