90% recovery by next year sounds more like wishful thinking than forecasting

why didn’t thye just use their cars to block the street and keep the cops out?

You are not wrong. If it doesnt look exactly like this I dont want it.

I can’t wait to hear all the small truck die hards bitching and moaning about Ford giving them a small truck that isn’t a 2000 ranger.  

Yes, you are the only one.

The lack of a V8 was a huge mistake. Nobody is going to buy a V6 Raptor.

I think this is a huge problem for them. I bought an ‘09 Sportster for 40% of the price of a new one last year (not completely sure why, I’m really a BMW / Triumph guy at heart, but I was curious). It had under 7k miles on it. Harley hasn’t evolved the platform at all, in any meaningful way since 2003. If anything,

Bean Counter probably hated the plan and refused to be complicit. When they changed out the CEO and then went with the old plan and the hackneyed round of restructuring, Bean Counter is probably the one guy in the room that was like “We’re doing what now? Nah, screw it, I’m out
