Well if the MoCo has stopped shipping to them completely, they are toast.
Hopefully the MoCo is allowing them to order some parts in order to keep their service department and walk in parts sales going.
It isn't fair to their retail bike customers not to b able to get their bikes serviced.
If HD has choked their line of credit to near zero, or C.O.D., then Boardtracker can't support the internet sales. They don't have the working capital

Borrow $10,000 from the bank and don't pay, you will have a problem.

That seemed to be Donald Trump's strategy in many of his re-negotiated deals.
As noted earlier, you don't get $6.3 million in debt overnight or by accident. Apparently they kept driving the car (or bike) down the road way past the point they needed to turn around.

Might be interesting to know how much culpability MOCO has due to their mandating that dealership owners expand/update. their showrooms, possibly requiring them to spend or borrow funds that they didn't have.
I've been to many, many dealerships and very few of have NOT had tons of money spent on these improvements.
May have been possible when the sales were sizzling but when those sales chill, so goes the profitability.

A guy i work with had ordered from boardtracker about a month ago now. He wanted to cancel so he called Anthony who assured him he would get his parts soon or hed give him a refund. He took the refund and his account was credited the next day so it seems like at least Anthony's trying to be a stand up guy. It'll be intersting to see how it plays out going forward.
