I used to sell software to them. They were cool guys. Even after HD bought them, they still had a small shop feel. They were pretty cool about lending me a bike when I was down there too.

That's really freakin' sad considering they won the AMA sportbike title this year... their first in competition.

had to expect it though when they modernized the looks of the sportster.

Harley owns his name, his patents, everything the man has done for the company. Bad, bad news. I feel for him.

Buell, you missed a chance to quote Mark Twain: "The

reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" :lol:
