It's sad to hear a company that used to be so passionate about building the perfect machine get overan by demands of lower cost/higher return based markets. I am sure almost every engineer at Honda wants to build the highest quality hands on parts and overall bikes but we have grown accustomed to the easily marketable side not the strictly engineered side
sad story, though nashville is a pretty awesome place i have been there three weekends out of the last five. if i hear of any job opportunities i will let you know.
