Can't have competition now, can we?
And maybe demand is slowing as all the poseurs buying in to the "lifestyle" have become bored and moved on to the latest fad? This may be a blessing, forcing HD to move into the 21st century of design, which the V-Rod was a start, instead of wallowing in bogus imagery.
LOL, I get confused as to who's wallowing in bogus imagery, HD, the poseurs or both. Regardless, they all look the same around here with their HD duds, beanie helmets, scowl on face, overly-loud mufflers and riding like they have hemorrhoids and/or half a brain. The newbies seem to go for trying to make some fashion statement with the leather chaps, jackets and vests, even in 80 degree weather. If follows that these folks might eventually tire of playing dress up.
