Lets hope future Orion buyers are not given an inferior product as happened with Harley-Davidson.

Harley-Davidson was bought out by AMF (American Machinery Foundation) and within 2 years had stuffed the quality of the whole range of motorcycles to a point where sales plummeted.

After a few more years, the ex-employees and executive of the original H-D company had had enough of their famous product being destoyed and they banded together and bought the company back.

The quality came back and sales sky-rocketed. The AMF models are hard to sell 2nd hand as they are known to be of poor quality.

I worry about Buy-outs as many companies are just after an easy
profit by riding in on someone elses hard work and don't usually have PRIDE in their product.

Lets hope, for the Orion buyers of the future, that this is not the case here.
