I know the epc story well.
I don't think Honda is so ivory towered.
Now that Willy is gone from HD, all that is left is the bean counters.
I predict tits up next 5 years.
This last engine (M8) is a POS by any measuring stick at all.
it will just help them to the BR court quicker.
IDC anymore.
They have not been loyal to me, and now i am not to them.
They do however sell a very nice wardrobe of stuff at very inflated prices if one is stupid enough to buy them.
i cannot imagine wanting to be their walking talking billboards.
