Good thought. Despite some economic indicators pointing positive there are a number of articles that indicate people who have extra cash are not throwing it around like they were a decade ago. I can think of all the golf courses that opened locally after the "Tiger Bump" that are now fields. The motorcycle market was artificially inflated as well and has settled into a more normal volume if you exclude that huge bubble that happened in the early 2000's. Maybe switching motorcycles to foams will get those sales back up?
