...given the company's cult following, demand shouldn't be a problem. Managing that demand so that people invariably have to wait three to 12 months to get their prized possession has always contributed to the Harley mystique. CEO Jeffrey Bleustein says he's No. 38 on the waiting list for a V-Rod at his local dealership. And for more than three years, riders have been sending Bleustein money as a deposit for a special centennial-edition model in 2003.

...Bleustein-Blanchet took a tentative step toward sex in an advertising campaign for Rosy brassieres. The original ad showed little more than a woman's torso, with the arms folded discreetly across the chest.
