Back to the discussion at hand, I think almost in any industry (e.g. automotive, computers, digital cameras, etc), manufactures are usually inspired by their competitors.

A prime example is the Mac OS X by Apple, the Linux OS by various vendors [free or non-free] and the infamous Windose by Micro$oft. Take a closer look at the graphical user interface, consider the computer peripherals and the Internet.

Anybody care to know whether I'm typing this on a Mac, Ubuntu or Windose machine? I don't think so but we all share the same information highway the so-called Internet. Almost the same thing when we're on the road riding a Nomad, a Road King or the mighty Rocket 3.

The flame wars between HD and Japanese bike owners/riders often remind me the never ending competition among those fanatic computer users.

If only the bikes were as inexpensive as the computers...
