It looks like HD is in trouble for lending money to a bunch of slackers. I can’t understand why these people wouldn’t pay off their motorcycle loans first! Taking care of an American company like HD is everyone’s best interest. Everyone knows they make the absolute best bikes out there.

Any word on when the government will flood HD with money to make sure they survive this mess?

What do you think?

Actually Harley Davidson is included in one of the earmarks of the bailout. Microsoft Corp., Boeing Co., United Technologies Corp., Electronic Data Systems Corp. and Harley-Davidson among others are to share 19 BILLION. But it is considered a research earmark.
Harley has a 4 to 5 percent bad return rate I believe, but they actually with the long term loans and higher interest rates, make by far MUCH MUCH more money on the typical loan, one of the highest profits in the loan business. In the last couple years, I have heard they are finiancing up to half of all loans on HDs
