Ya i got the respones too.
Only one that truly stuck with me is the Pirate who had the balls to say something along the lines "that times are tough and HD needed money buell just wasnt making profits"...Pretty sure none of us have seen a buell advertisement. If you did you better have bought a lotto ticket.

what the **** is this guy doing? Thats my bad for his rep though. I guess if someone is unranked and you give them a [down] they get a rep like that. Mods, can you get rid of this?

Through the years, H-D has used and abused Companies and their own personnel to further H-D. But that's what the capitalistic/free enterprize society is all about... really! Build your company on the ashes of those companies that you take over, or by building a better "mouse trap"!
Before you jump on that thought, think about this... H-D acquired German built DKW and an Italian company named Aermacchi in the 60's... ran them down and (not too sure on this) sold them. In the 80's they let AMF "buy" H-D and let them pour untold millions of dollars into retooling for the EVO engine, then "bought" H-D back. In the 2000's H-D bought Agusta. Hard tell what they'll do with this brand, but I understand that it's already on the market for sale. In my opinion, they should really keep Agusta -- they need that entry into the sport image/racing that they don't have with their present models (sans Buell of course). Buell was just another stepping-stone.
I'm proud to ride my American owned vehicles. What is transpiring here with Buell will not disillusion me or sway my opinion. This is just the World way of free enterprize.
Sorry Mr. Buell and I wish you the best of luck when you move on to another dream/adventure, your bikes were an engineering step up!

They already sold MV back to it's original owner for $1 and wrote it off. I was mad because I totally would've given them $2.
