COMMENT - Capital is the Most Fickle of Mistresses .............................................. 4
With Harley ' s 2023 results due out a week after this edition went to press , Robin Bradley thinks he ' s seen enough in the second part of its MY2024 announcement to feel sadly confident that investor and analyst response to those results won ' t see Harley in a Wall Street ' happy place '. Harley ' s share price is hovering around the $ 32.50 mark , with its Market Cap down at $ 4.63bn .
PAN AMERICA : Wins Class in Africa Eco Race ........................................................ 22 Throughout the 120 plus years of Harley ' s history , there have always been those doughty souls who liked to put the Bar and Shield to the most arduous of tests . Now , with the RA1250 , its official - the brand can mix it in the harshest of environments with Dakar Pro Joan Pedrero scooping a Maxitrail class win and 25th overall in the 15th Africa Eco Race .
