Not AMC, AMF, and AMF saved H-D. It was AMF that prototyped the Evolution engine. It didn't get in production models until , and the Evo saved Harley.
Their purchasing power provides the stockholders money and they're saying they're not going to spend theirs.
That frightens stockholders and they're already worried about the stock price drops.
JMO, YMMV
Sounds like German-born Jochen Zeitz, the CEO of Harley-Davidson, wishes he was a Taliban goat. He'll come out of the closet soon enough.
It was AMF. American Machine & Foundry.
if one ‘remakes the brand’ then they DESTROY the Brand!
WTF, everyone gonna start riding Honda’s. Oh well, I won’t feel bad anymore about not paying up for the parts at the Harley store.
Now that’s an object of beauty.
Geez muzzies everywhere;-)
So is my 2017 Scout. 56K on the odometer - 50K is mine. If I had more discretionary funds I’d add a Chief to the stable. Rode one at a demo day last year and it felt good.
My only complaint is not enough dealers. But it’s central Kentucky. No brand really has a lot of dealerships.
I have nothing against Harley, I just can’t find them interesting. Rode a few, 883 and sportster. Not my cup of tea.
When Germans are bad, they are awful. Michael Spindler (German) almost destroyed Apple, along with Gil Amelio (Frenchie).
I think that man is unbalanced.
Then he will tip over. If there is any justice in the world.
The best part you can have fun and still be ready for war, social break down, economic collapse, asteroid impact, earthquake, whatever. Way more fun to riding some heavy 900 pound fat assed gay parade float around town.
“So I became the Taliban again in a sustainable way,” Zeitz said...
That makes no sense. The Taliban are mass murderers.
Wherever you park it. Everyone will know its a Harley by the big puddle under it.
That was unkind of you.
Blue doesn’t leak. She’s not from the AMF era, which is probably what you are referring to.
Just For The Record, there were over 300,000 Harleys every year in DC for Rolling Thunder, (I attended nine consecutive ones) and I don’t ever remember hearing of the need for a massive cleanup of the Pentegon Parking Lot after it was used as a staging area.
Mock the company all you want. But please don’t disrespect a fellow FReeper’s Bike.
Remember the words of President Ronald Reagan, paraphrased for this situation:
I didn’t leave Harley-Davidson. Harley-Davidson left ME.
I mean that sincerely.
Ah. I see your sign-up date.
That explains it.
I didn’t mean to insult. I remember in the 70s there was a lot of talk about Harleys and oil leaks. My sister had a Fat Boy and rode all over the place. She put over 100000 miles on it. I don’t think my Yamaha would ever go that far. It is a shame that companies have gone down the tubes. Have a good day. Ignore the sign up date. I have been on this forum since it started.
