    That's what happens when Corporate America lays people off. Over weight executives stop buying HD's.

    It does... There will also be a huge surplus of chaps & tassles, they will be encouraging sport riders to take up the slack... New products will emerge such as tassled sliders & Chaps with tassled sliders.

    Keep an eye on Chapsandtassles.com for some great deals!

    Obviously the Harley factories are just far to efficient.

    Though it is a worldwide trend, The japs would be lowering production by thousands of units.

    The 2009 figures would be interesting.

    Meanwhile in China, factory workers at the Suzuki plant are being executed as worldwide demand weakens. Reports are coming in that GSX-R vending machines the world over are now running low on stock with some even running out of change.

    So buy some tractors and whatnot now while it's cheap, then sell it in a couple months when the demand is up enough just before HD start making more?
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    The bubble had to burst sometime and since they caused it to blow it's only right Corporate America should suffer with the rest of the world.

    HD has been know for a 'keep them lean and keep them keen' production policy - the last decade has just been a high with huge demand. Instead of running out excess models like Suzuki does through NZ etc (back-off I ride a Honda run-out model) HD will slash production. They have been looking at combining factories for a while I understand.

    Interesting it's the Sportster and V-Rod they hit the hardest.

    I'll be interested to see what happens with MV - bet there are not many of them being sold of late.

    They could race with the Motards, maybe lump pre 82's Senior and Junior in there as well. May as well add Clubmans as well I suppose, then we can have 10 lap races!

    MV have got to be coming out with a new bike soon. The existing model has been there for, what, ten years? And they've fiddled with it and upped it to, what, 1152 now or something weird. Competition's much hotter too: the 1098, the new Aprilia V4, the bizarre KTM thing.

    Hmmmm

    Psychologists worry as affluent men have to make new adjustments in the way they grow up and make up for a lack of control of there lives. Thousands of overpaid insecure overweight men in there late 50's and early 60's have been told they can no longer able to have there midlife crisis as the pivotal symptom and product-the harley davidson motorcycle, is being put out of production for week, sparking panic amongst dentists and accountants world wide.

    On the street you can spot distraught older men crying quietly in there audis and oversized immaculate 4wd's. Between sobs we were able to interview a few of them.

    "What am I going to do now? I have 7 chins and am on my 4th set of hairplugs, my kids hate me and I cant get it up anymore. I already have a 4wd and boat, And another bike will be to fast and make me look fatter, I had to have this....why have they taken them away???"

    "This is terrible, I got the harley coffee mug, harley tie, harley tie clip, harley stapler, harley executive shirt, harley hush puppy loafers, harley boxers, harley aftershave, harley roll on, harley desk blotter, harley socks, a harley special edition Ford F150 and a start on a harley tatoo, its to late to go to a porsche, I theres no resale on the ford and told every other executive trust accountant in the association that I was going to be just like them at last......."

    Doctors have been noticing a change as less chronic polishing injuries are being reported. But senior advisers, board members and tax lawyers are showing higher amounts of work time lost due to injuries due to playing with there kids and grandkids, doing work around the home, helping out neighbours, playing sport and generally suffering due to having a more active lifestyle.

    Roadside urban Cafes charging over 6 dollars for coffees and 10 dollars for a panini have expressed worry
