Sometimes I can ramble so you may have missed my point. That being a large number of people have continued to purchase the big HDs over the past 50 years even though they are not as fast, reliable or as economical as their import competitors. While their reasons may vary the individuals I socialize with do so for the overall riding experience. I know the majority of auto buyers purchase their vehicles as a means to "just get around" and the segment that considers their car more than just a transportation appliance is very small and may indeed be shrinking.
