This thread brings back memories of a good (but occasionally grumpy) guy I used to work with, who after buying his first Harley (late 80's?), became enamored with everything Harley...including their stock.

Every time I ran across him after that, he would be cackling about how the stock was climbing (it was only a couple of dollars a share when he started) and that he set aside a certain amount every payday to buy more...and swore to never sell until he retired.

I lost touch with him about 15 years ago and when everything (including HDI/HOG) took a nosedive in 08, I thought about him once in a while...and wondered if he stayed the course.

I heard recently that he finally retired a couple of years ago, moved to warmer climes and I was hoping that he had kept buying, never sold and now gets to ride his bike year around...instead of just during some short summers.

Here's to ya Oscar, you earned it... (he got his nickname from Sesame Street).
