With ROE in excess of 20% year after year and increasing dividends, this company have nowhere to go but up. Harley Davidson is widely recognized and expanding into China. With over 1.4 Billion people there, the growth prospects are tremendous in the next couple of years.

Lol - people in China can afford a Harley!!! Really? Why do they have to have several family members at a time to buy a NEW car, which is only $5000 NEW? They are going to pay 20 years average annual CHINESE salary to buy a new Harley?

I agree, and Hog always surprises. This quarter should be a good one. Management doesn't talk much to Wall St. hence the street always tries to find fault. Hog is a stock Wall Street loves to hate due to its silent success.

Disagree. Harley's core baby boomer customers are getting older and the demographics of their buyers is getting older. The younger generations don't want their Grandfathers Olds er...Harley. Harley won't go away, they just won't grow the way they have been. In the interest of full disclosure, I own a 2004 Harley Heritage but do not own HOG stock and I am 45 years old.
