Harley Davidson Puts Labor Issues to Rest

I would agree with Mallarde, where are these reports of tight inventories coming from. HOG has been notorious for stuffing their inventory channels so they could meet earnings expectations. They report earnings when they ship the bikes to their dealers versus when they actually receive the money for the bike. Complete fraud.

On another topic, who is buying new motorcycles? Sub-prime people who are losing their homes, people who are getting layed off or having trouble with sky high inflation in food and energy prices. I guess after you lost your home, you go out and buy a 15-20K motorcycle. I dont think so.
