This just in, via e-mail: Dear Friends: After three decades of extraordinary opportunities and experiences working with American Honda, I have chosen to accept a well considered “early retirement” program which will be effective May 1st. Leaving AH is hard, primarily because of the great relationships I’ve had working with folks like you. The issues and efforts we’ve shared over the years have been duly rewarded by the long term growth of our sport. It is really a privilege to work in an industry that gives such joy to all its participants and I plan to stay close to it. My wife Sheri, and I will continue to be based in Orange County and intend to balance our work lives more with family, friends and riding. I wish you great success in both your personal and professional endeavors and look forward to seeing you down the road! With best regards, Jon Row, Manager Motorcycle Sports Dept. American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Torrance, CA 90501
