I see the staff of Monkey Wards all found new jobs.
China and India buy motorbikes in numbers that dwarf the American market. Electric versions fit those markets. HD wants in on that market.
Hey, back in the day, Monkey Wards was a great company to work for, with great products, including tools (when I worked there, in the late 70s) which rivaled Craftsman, and the same lifetime warranty. It wasn't "the staff" that killed it... Like Sears, it was executive management.
Other than that, you're absolutely rights... "The executive management of Monkey Wards all found new jobs."
