FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 11, 2012
Torrance, CA: American Honda announces that effective October 1, 2012, Senior Vice President of the Motorcycle Division Ray Blank will retire. Robert Gurga has been promoted to the position of Vice President, Motorcycle Division.
“After nearly 30 years with the Motorcycle Division, I have made the decision to step down,” said Blank. “American Honda has been wonderful to me over all these years, and I am very proud of what the people at American Honda have all achieved together through both the good and bad times. I never thought I would have the good fortune to be involved with so many great motorcycles and industry friends during my time here. I want to thank everyone I’ve worked with for memories I never dreamed possible.”
Robert Gurga has been with the Motorcycle Division for 34 years, and previously served as Assistant Vice President of Marketing. “Ray Blank has been a great leader here at American Honda and for the industry as well,” said Gurga. “We look forward to taking on new challenges as our business continues to evolve and our industry experiences new growth in the years to come. These are very exciting times for the
powersports industry, and American Honda will continue to create opportunities for our sport to grow through innovative products and programs.”

Well, maybe Gurga doesn't hate the folks running AMASBK as passionately as Blank did so perhaps we'll see Honda return sometime in the foreseeable future.
CB77, what do you thing Gurga means for AHM's product?

As happy as I am to see Blank go...I do not think Gurga is the answer. I fear this will accelerate the brain-drain for the M/C department. Like I said, Rats down the anchor chain.
