We can only hope that someone...anyone...from the MoCo that truly has some major pull will read this thread.
But on the other hand, what good would it really do?
Harley seems to be suffering from the same disease that many American based companies have. It's easier to let a guy go than to address the real issues. Maybe this marketing guy saw the truth of what needed to happen at Harley and left the company on his own. If I was at the top of the marketing food chain and Harley, I wouldn't want to work for them, especially if he knows what's wrong with the company. It's not his job to fix the problems, only to 'sell more product'...a product that's becoming increasingly less admired over time.
Everyone who had contributed to this thread had valid and smart points. But we're singing to the choir, while the leaders of the Harley church are on the outside looking for a silver bullet but unwilling to make the necessary hard-line changes, because that's admitting there are real problems inside the church...if you know what I mean.
