The president of my company is on the board of directors for the MIC (Motorcycle Industry Counsel) similar to SEMA. He is finishing up a industry show in Indianapolis, where they have there annual board of directors meeting.
I believe the automotive industry's parallels the motorcycle industry to a degree. There opinion is the end consumer will demand more quality in all there purchases not just go price shopping. There telling business to diversify, there is a lot of business to be had, but may take a little more work to get it. There is 94% of the population working, it's the confidence in the economy that is suffering.
I personally agree with this, but we will see. I hope anyone of our members here who isn't working gets the opportunity real soon.
