I usually don't post links but the gist is HD is dropping Buell and looks like maybe shutting it down. Loss of 180 jobs. |

This makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. Although it sucks for the people losing their jobs.
I want to go laugh in DMG's face. So you attempted to run off Japanese bikes and now your precious Buell has failed.

I wonder is Eric Buell has the means to continue the company on it's own feet.

Shame
I really wanted to see them succeed with this new engine (one that didn’t shake the bike across the room at idle)

Erik has a video that looks like he is about to cry and glosses over the competitive advantage he was given over factory teams

Seems retarded to me. HD drops the only things that made them interesting to the sportbike/youngish crowd. Now they're going to focus on making more slow, overweight, over-accessorized, oil cooled bikes?
