Here is an idea for something that might help. Badwebbers should go out on the MC boards and talk up Erik Buell Racing. Talk about how the 1125R is still eligible for DSB and the 1125RR is still eligible for Superbike. Stress the fact that the R won DSB but also stress that the RR was very competitive right out of the box in Superbike. Stress that this EBR is going to supply a very high level of support, both parts and knowledge, to ANYONE racing a Buell. If you can't find a discussion start one. Be prepared to get flamed and remain calm and cool. Avoid arguments. State facts. |

Here's something that I posted on another thread related to the latest news http://www.motorcycledaily.com/25november09_hdcred itarm.htm that I think you may be able to use if you're writing letters: This continues a theme that I think can be used if you're writing letters. Harley always has their hands out for OUR public tax money (I believe they've already received TARP money for their financial arm plus at least 4 million tax dollars from PA just since 2000 and don't forget those HUGE tariffs in the eighties). They lobbied for and recieved tax breaks for people buying motorcycles as part of the stimulus plan earlier this year and they have recieved countless other tax breaks and incentives over the years. But when we ask them to do one, tiny thing in the public interest (and their own interest) by selling Buell, they become enourmous pricks who lie to our faces and tell us Buell is too "integrated" to sell. How do members of the Harley board sleep at night? http://forums.motortrend.com/70/7338560/the-genera l-forum/harley-davidson-seeking-federal-bank-bailo ut-funds/index.html http://cfpolicyblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/harley-da vidson-and-problem-with.html http://www.kmbc.com/money/18713627/detail.html http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa032.html |

My letter went out yesterday. It would be really cool to see HD executives get called on the carpet and asked why they have turned down an actual offer for Buell's assets at the same time they're begging Uncle Sam for a handout. |

Ok, did some group actually offer $$$ for Buell? Just would like to set the facts straight. Greg |

I will write as well. I will try to leave out any reference to them being commie American-hating traitors, and exlude any reference to the Southpark episode as well. |

Chris Shields, over on his Harley-bashing site, refers to this whole thing as Harley performing a self-lobotomy... |

I've written: Keith Wandell, John Olin, MJS, WSJ, 3 Directors, 8 Fund Managers. Don't expect feedback. This is about awareness. Mind drip. |
