^^  For the life of me I can't figure out what would happen when a walker loses a lifter  ?  ^^

HD will try and sell him the MoCo branded Viagra.  They will market it as the lifter will not collapse and the push rod will still be able to function as it was intended.

Just curios of all the know it all's. Who here runs at least a $1B corporation with full P&L.

I don't know if it counts or not as it doesn't quite meet your criteria, but I ran a $1/2B privately held company with full P&L for over a decade.  And I am quite clear in my mind as to why I have have not purchased a new MOCO motorcycle in over 10 years, after having purchased 6 new CVO's in the 6 years prior to my last purchase.  My two HD motorcycles are 10 and 17 years old respectively...  I have zero intention of buying another new MOCO product.  I'll leave it to the analyst, experts and commentators to figure out why...

Hmmm...because we're not worthy of HD's high quality and low prices?

My guess is all the issues with the 2007 CVO.  The major engine issues, and the complete lack of support from HD.  The fact that some of those issues still exist in the 110 motor 9 years later.  I know my 15 CVO, right at 2 years old had failed lifers take out the motor, and it had to be replaced by HD.  A couple weeks later and I would have been SOL....

I'm sure that some of you older guys can relate to how it was with H.D.  back in the early 90's.  The local dealer in my area, announced the day/date he would be (taking orders) for all new upcoming models.  There was a line of customers from the front door to the parking lot.

The dealer had a yellow pad and took down what model you wanted and what color and you gave him an up front deposit.

That is the way it worked when I got my '93 Dyna Wide Glide.  Rode it for about 5-6 years and sold it on consignment at a local bike shop for only a few hundred dollars less than I paid.........as I recall.  Then I drove from Raleigh,  N.C. clear up to New York state to pick up my new RK Classic (1999) model with the first Twin cam motor.

Late '90s - early '00s, when a local (rural) dealer got a new bike shipment notice, they used to have a "lottery" drawing amongst all the interested buyers to be able to buy it for MSRP, regardless of what color arrived - take it or leave it.
