Hopefully this means that they will be able to afford extra help in the 
parts department which seems to be the source of many of the complaints 
seen on the list.

Speaking of parts, maybe while they are at it, they can hire a firm that 
can put out an accessory catalog. While this years was better than last, it 
is still far from making the grade. They should send someone over to pick 
up the Harley accessory catalog and use it as a benchmark. How many mail 
order catalogs do you get in the mail that have pictures of items with no 
descriptions whatsoever ? What prompted this outburst you ask ? I just got 
my 2001 Harley Parts and Accessory catalog (still didn't get one from 
Triumph for 2000....) in the mail today - 720 pages !!!! Holy crap - that's 
a lot of chrome.....

OK, I feel better now.....
