Wow, you know it must be bad when Lauren has to censor her words.

I don't know anything about Harley & don't have any use for them. Apparently I am not missing much.

Vote with your wallets, folks.
Exactly, I fail to see why this is a surprise to anyone, Harley put forth its smear campaign against "rice grinders" years and years ago.

It will not matter, people want " a piece of the legend" and harly after the recession will continue to grow bigger than ever.

I suppose what bothers me is that HD is a microcosm of what is wrong with America on so many levels. From the people who make them, to the people that buy them. Sure, there are some good things at HD, but with a corporate philosophy of crushing innovation and then selling vacuous images to the public with a tie in to "buy American" makes me want to puke.

Its interesting that you would feel this way about the death of buell, while the United States government crushes business after business.

With Bruce Rossmeyer's death at Sturgis last fall, that pretty much killed Buell and HD as far as AMA road racing goes. He was tight with the France family and the Daytona Area
