Had a small order in for calls at dawn and cancelled it before opening. Stupid analyst decreed a possible chassis shortage yesterday. I have looked at everything I can find printed and posted and don't see any real down side. The closest people can come up with in the complaint department relate to the huge demand. Chassis shortages, labor pool shortages, capacity shortages. I'll send God a list tonight of all the companies I own that I wish these problems on. I think we're where Harley Davidson was five years ago. It may be the same demographic group. The big Harley push came from Middle Age Man with disposable income for expensive toys. The WGO push is coming from extra middle agers with big retirement accounts. WGO and HD are both big names in American toys. HD had to ramp up to meet demand too. The big difference I see is relative to their respective peer industrial groups. WGO is respected as a quality product. HD builds crappy products, but has incredible brand recognition. I'll take the quality over time. Mike
