As we reflect on our performance in 2005, we had many accomplishments. We shipped 329,000 motorcycles, which is a 3.7 percent increase over the previous year. Worldwide retail sales of Harley-Davidson(R) motorcycles increased 6.2 percent during 2005. Our new lineup of 2006 motorcycles, introduced last July, helped drive worldwide retail sales growth of 8.3 percent in the second half of the year.

Existing-home sales should stay below the record levels experienced over the last two years, but they'll maintain a historically high pace.

en After a particularly volatile year in 2005 for consumer sentiment, we may be entering steadier times in 2006. However, given households' high levels of debt and sensitivity to interest rates, this calm would be dramatically disturbed if interest rate concerns returned.
