http://www.motorcycle.com/news/harleydavidson-seek s-federal-bailout-87855.html I read this evening on motorcycle.com how HD is looking for bailout money. Has this been posted already? I already looked for it in the backfire section ![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/peepwall.gif) |

I just saw that this morning too. I thought it was a joke, but it is apparently serious. |

Ford and Harley only. Those wall streets can cry me a river and ride their yachts down it. Can we bailout Buell only? I'm not big on HD, just Buell. There the future afterall. |

I wonder if this is going to help them pay for the new Museum or the new "Harley" tier at Miller Park?? |

It's basicly low or no interest protection for their loans. Nothing to worry about, and it's a smart move for them. |

If we bail them out, they better start making some rice killers. 1125R is a start, they need to step it up! If Ducati can build the 1098, Buell can build better and faster. |

Please read the article. It's not H-D, it's Eaglemark Savings Bank and/or Harley-Davidson Credit. I don't know all the fancy lawyer words, but my impression is that they are filing under some liquidity rule. People have to choose between their home and their motorcycle, and well, MOST of the time the motorcycle loses. So I can see how ESB might be having a little trouble. I don't think the motor company itself is seeking bailout dollars. Could be semantics to some people but I don't think it's quite the same thing. ESB is a bank, having the same troubles as all the other banks - the economy sucks and people aren't paying their bills. Like I said, this is only my impression from reading a few articles. They certainly don't tell ME anything. ->ChelleM |

You can trade your house for a tent, roll it up and put on the back of the Buell and camp at TWO for the rest of your life. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |
