Other Bikes » More tough times for H-D

According to this YouTube report published by Auto Flash, H-D is shutting down U.S. production and laying off its employees. It sounds like a real mess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9jHo8_ax-E

That doesn't sound good. And it's factual evidence that all is not exactly hunky-dory in the economy, despite rosy pronouncements from various sources on Wall Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Wow.

......... According to this YouTube report published by Auto Flash, H-D is shutting down U.S. production and laying off its employees. It sounds like a real mess ..........


I'm calling this clickbait ... I like the way they used shots of Laidlaw Harley in California, almost certainly without permission. I've watched many of Matt Laidlaws great videos, mainly on the new M8 motor ... When Mat says harley is breaking up then I will be convinced .... Why would they move stuff overseas now with tariffs and all. doesn't make a lick of sense really ....

I guess almost everything we read and see and hear is fake. Hard to know what to believe any more.

So...Harley's not in trouble after all?

H-D sells a joint Hero product in India and, possibly, elsewhere. Similarly, QJ builds an H-D product that's sold in various countries.

I doubt H-D is shutting down US production, but that production will, likely, be under 90,000 units this year. At some point, H-D will need to shift to smaller US production facilities and that presents an opportunity to move to states without a unionized workforce and reap relocation investment incentives.

So what is the truth of H-D's production situation in the U.S.? Perhaps the only way to actually know is when they publish their quarterly financial report.

I doubt any long term decisions will be made until they replace Zeitz as CEO, although making long term strategic decisions in the current business milieu is nigh on impossible
