Before taking over Harley, Wandell was chief operating officer of the car battery and building ventilation systems maker Johnson Controls Inc.  | ||

Nice. Our country is going to hell in a handbasket... and this moron is getting rich off of it... might be time to throw out or give away the Harley gear after all. | ||

That's a lot of money to just be taking bad advice from bitter underlings. | ||

Almost $5M of it was in options that are vested. If he doesn't improve the company, his income doesn't manifest. Given the size of the company, the compensation package is pretty light. | ||

If he doesn't improve the company, his income doesn't manifest. if he continues to run the company into the ground, stop production, close up shop, will he receive a percentage of the assets from the liquidation sale? | ||

Wandell was in the right place at the right time. The stock increase had more to do with the broad economy and general stock trends than it did Wandell's actual management. Harley stock was greatly undervalued at the time Wandell came in and when investors realized we weren't in another great depression they began buying up stocks such as Harley. The increase had relatively little to do with any direct actions of Wandell. Wandell 'earned' his money to a slightly greater extent than a lottery winner . . . but only slightly. 10 years from now, Harley will be a weaker company because of decisions Wandell made last year. . . . but he'll be long gone by then and living it up. | ||

Again, as I said earlier, I can't wait to show up for the stock holders meeting this May. At an average of $50,000 for salaries at Buell he alone could support 120 employees. The old management at least could choke down their fees, they made money. So anyone buy MV yet???? Greg | ||

The company has been laying off workers, closed factories and shuttered or sold unwanted brands. Unwanted by whom? | ||

HDFU(spit) Not sour grapes, just bad, bad business, I am watching struggling small businesses everyday, I have converstations with the owners, and I always ask them, what are you doing to change, what are you doing different? Most of them are doing nothing, and the hand writing is on the wall, it's not getting any better for them. On the other hand the companies that are changing, looking for other revenue sources within the same business, those are the ones that are doing well, and growing. H-DFU(spit) has confessed ot doing nothing, and the hand writing is on the wall, RUN! | ||

could be an interesting meeting, if a lot of buell/hd stock owners show up. | ||

Hire me! Surely I can't do any worse than he has so far and there would be a LOT of heads rolling once I got there.  | ||

Shut down Buell and be handsomely rewarded..... maybe if Harley-Davidson would shut down Wandell, we would ALL be rewarded!  | ||
