History, especially the past twenty years worth, is filled with once excellent companies that were destroyed by p-poor CEO's. Harley is well down that road, and the board of directors just keeps bringing on people from outside the motorcycle market who have no clue what Harley owners and potential owners want. These days it's all about moves to make short term profit gains to impress Wall Street and boost the stock price, which will generate a huge bonus for the CEO and other top executives. Every time, the short term nearsighted approach ultimately fails, digging the hole deeper and deeper for the next clown to roll out of the clown car. At this point it is too late, Harley directors and management are clueless and don't seem to care that they are clueless. For the faithful, hopefully someone will buy them out and go back to building decent quality bikes people actually want to ride. I look back at the many travails of the Indian brand, and then look at what Polaris is doing with it now. Harley needs that same sort of restart.
