I check the comments on this blog regularly. The idea is that we're going to have a conversation about the ideas I've presented. You should be aware of the fact that when someone emails me an interesting comment, the odds are good that I'll post that in the comments anonymously and reply to that comment on the blog rather than in email.

A Funny Documentary
Some of this is blatantly schmaltzy. Some is slow. Much of it, I
suspect, is right. Harley the corporate welfare queen may be one of the
big losers from the pandemic and Trump’s Recession. It is really hard to
feel sorry for them.
I paid that tax (tariff) that the Reagan administration put on bikes over 700 CC. I wasn't happy about it at the time; however, in hindsight, I'm disappointed that H-D didn't use that money to expand their market and set the company up for future viability.
I can see that. I think my response was a lifetime of under 700cc motorcycles in protest. Hardly's response to everything has been below the belt, including rewriting their WWII history. I would never expect a company that lazy with customers that simple-minded to do any sort of "right thing." The biggest bike I've ever owned was a Yamaha 850 TDM and that was always more bike than I ever needed.
