Thanks Rose....yep, Harley has been a good one. One of those you look back on and say "if I had only bought xxxxx shares, instead of xxx shares". I even added to it several months ago. Harley has a certain niche, and no matter how many copy cats come out, there are too many people that will only touch a Harley. Plus, most like to keep them, if they can, rather then sell them, when they are ready to upgrade, which keeps the used value high, and most models are worth far more 25 years after you buy it, then when you bought it 25 years ago...in some cases alot more. So, most people like a "collection" of harleys", if they can afford to upgrade, without selling their old model. Heck, I wish 20 years ago, I had simply bought 10 - 20 Harleys and kept them in mint condition. They would beat any return you got from the market over the same period. Heck, you could probably retire. And they were awful cheap 20 years ago. A $1k bike can be worth $25k or more right now. As for Tim, I wasn't apologizing to you, but to the board. I just looked in and saw he was battling with anybody that didnt agree with him as usual, and voiced my opinion. Should have just kept my trap shut, as that is not my style. I'd rather get along, then not, and if I can't get along, I would rather not be involved. Anyway, hope you have been well.....K
