Agreed. I have to admit I was pleasantly suprised when I made a purchase this year, only having to wait 2-3 weeks instead of what it seemed to be at one time.
HD's real problem is the aging baby boom generation. They spurred the huge increase in heavy duty bike sales in the late 1990s/early 2000s, but fifty and sixty year old bones don't heal like 20 year old ones' do. This could be the beginning of HD's long goodbye.
I do own that bike, but the 2004.
