No a woman was not the CEO at Harley. What happened is that the parent company (AMF) pulled all the money out of Harley and spent nothing on R and D. It's when they sold the company to the small group of management that turned the company around. The AMF "suits" ran it into the ground, the core enthusiasts saved the company.
The history books are not finished at this point, they had great success in the expanding markets of 1990-2005 but things are not as bright now and their continued success is in question.
Thanx, Russ
