I wonder how much they lost on their original $100 Million investment?

As an MV owner, I couldn't be happier. As a Buell owner, I couldn't be more pissed off. They can salvage some cash as they divest themselves of some acquisitions, but they charge off $150 Million to CLOSE Buell?

This horse has been beat to death, but what a bunch of $HITHEADS!

I'm glad that, at least, MV has survived the debacle...

Buell will rise from the ashes, fingers crossed for February...

Maybe Buell's new logo should be the Phoenix.

Damn glad to hear that MV survived (so far). But HD still needs a public flogging for this debacle...and I bet their worth on the stock exchange will be that flogging...

Well, look on the bright side, Gents! Harley's capitol investment really gave MV the chance to improve their product and make a "world class" motorcycle!

And its befitting it be sold to the current owners.

According to my Buell friends, Keith W. of HD is not a motorcyclist, and never even rode a bike before his current position in HD.

Please correct me and my friends if we are wrong.

He's nothing more than a golfer and "hatchet man" that Harley hired to do an ugly job.

Can't wait until they give him the boot as I totally despise the guy!

The old owners just took it over and HD got nodda,

Well, better that than HD running MV with current management!

Its questionable that I will ever own another HD motorcycle. The only reason I would consider it is if my current dealer was still here in Ukiah as he has bent over backwards to support me in both my HD and Buell purchase.

I know no one who has had such support from their dealer as I have, so I don't expect anyone to be sympathetic.
