Author Message   Corporatemonkey Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 03:38 am:        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   Jaimec Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 07:32 am:        I just saw that this morning too. I thought it was a joke, but it is apparently serious.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 08:04 am:        They just want to be in line behind Jenna Jameson...   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 08:23 am:        .... almost time to buy some H-D stock...   Midknyte Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 08:28 am:        it's the financing arm, not HD proper   Cityxslicker Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 01:25 pm:        I want my own damn bail out. I gots billz to pay, hell I will even help prime the economy pump by supporting those poor out of work strippers.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 01:29 pm:        Hey, while the public tit is out.....   B00stzx3 Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 01:53 pm:        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.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 01:58 pm:        I wonder if this is going to help them pay for the new Museum or the new "Harley" tier at Miller Park??   Hdbobwithabuell Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 02:38 pm:        "behind Jenna Jameson"   Eboos Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 02:48 pm:        It's basicly low or no interest protection for their loans. Nothing to worry about, and it's a smart move for them.   B00stzx3 Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 07:19 pm:        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.   Chellem Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 09:33 pm:        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   Rubberdown Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 10:19 pm:        •••• them and their bailouts! IF your in, I'm out!   Froggy Posted on Friday, January 23, 2009 - 03:29 pm:        quote: People have to choose between their home and their motorcycle, and well, MOST of the time the motorcycle loses. 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.
