This is more comparable to when Willy and his buddies(Attorneys, as I recall, AAAAAHHHHHEEEEEMMMMMM...) bought H-D back from those "Corporate Types" and turned it into a profitable venture...yes, I do believe we have a legitimate comparison.
Maybe, but I was responding to Turk's analogy of AMF, not Willy's buy-back. Your point is....?

Hmmmmmm....enthusiasts buy the company and turn it around...and in doing so gain all COPYRIGHT, NAME, DESIGN and MFG control.

Turn the "CSX" legacy into an FFR legacy...oh, great business decision...why don't you just call the Smith's "idiots" and get it over with.


Huh? I'm an FFR customer, Curt Scott personally branded me a "brownshirt" years ago, I consider the Smith brothers friends of mine, and you're accusing me of calling them idiots? I've re-read my post several times. I'm baffled. All I am saying is that FFR will probably be more successful than AMF was in taking over a "mark" like SAI or Harley. Again, your point is...?
