COMMENT : Want one and want it now !.................................................................... 4
There ' s no doubt that the Pan America 1250 ST represents a strategic jumping offpoint , but is it one that leads to Oblivion or Nirvana ?

Respected former Harley and Vance & Hines man Michael Kennedy ' s 2023 appointment as CEO was a positive sign for the confused and confusing Texasbased , NYSE listed mega-seller . But a year is a long time in Texas - so long Mike and thanks for all the fish .

KLOCK WERKS : More flare , more fun .................................................................... 43
Mitchell , South Dakota based Klock Werks is knocking it out of the park with the way the company is nurturing , developing and evolving its Flare windshields programs - one of the undoubted V-twin Parts and Accessory industry success stories of recent years .
