Curious how someone can buy a Thunder Header in the UK when it is illegal for a merchant to sell them.

I really can only guess but my opinion is you'll likely see a downsized company. Harley reminds me a lot of John Deere they never are the front runners on new technology often 10 years behind. Deere always seems to let other companies design and make improvements then come out with there new product line that works. It seems to have worked for both Harley and Deere for well over a 100 years.

It's illegal in California and yet a 3rd of every HD on the road is running one and for damn good reason

LMAO! People need to realize that they can't believe everything they read. Wall street has an agenda, which usually involves disinformation to the masses of sheeples. Last I looked the stock was up 16%, not down 50% as the article implied was going to happen. This is how the rich get richer while everyone else is late to the party.

Wow, I had no idea that legislation existed. Even HD dealerships will supply Vance and Hines and similar and will fit them and the Short Shots and similar I’ve heard are far louder than Thunderheaders.

Like the say, buy on the rumor - sell on the news.

Insider trading is against the law - but it's the insiders who do most of the trading!

I'm still bearish on HOG and while I have four of H-D motorcycles and like them all (one is going to be for sale), I am not a fan of the company like I used to be.
