I would say that about sums it all up in a nutshell, OB! Yep, your history lesson here sound pretty much spot-on to me.
Funny what can happen to a motorcycle company when people who REALLY have motorcycling in the blood like Willie G. attain control of it after it's nearly run on the rocks by people who only know the difference between a freakin' bowling ball and a basketball, ain't it?!
(...btw, have I ever mentioned that I'd LOVE to own a XR1200, which if I ever DO it would now have to be a used one, 'cause thanks to all the "Faithful" who wouldn't know a GOOD handling motorcycle from a freakin' basketball, H-D doesn't make it anymore...though yeah, they sure DO know how to make a lot of money caterin' to these kinda folks, don't they?!)
