I have a feeling some of the smaller auto and bike makers will leave the north american market. There sales right now will not warrent them to stick around. It will be interesting to see who's left when all the dust settles.

Yeah it is hard to fault HD management for what is happening. People really need to blame the folks responsible. The ones on the "Hill". They are the greedy little F...s that got us into this mess. They are also the ones that will get mega rich off the so called stimulus package. We will get $400.

I agree 100% greyboat, the will get rich and me and my coworkers at the factory level and others like us will see no difference in our pocket or our life. Other than hopefully we will not loose everything we have and still have a job and in time hopefully i will be working more than 4 days a week again. This whole mess has me so pissed off its unbelievable. I worked dam hard since i was 12 till 36 now went back to college got a degree and now a supervisor and just in the first month of this year have lost all overtime and one day a week if it stays all year i will loose over $35k compared to what i made last year why because other people lived outside there means and now i have to suffer and pay for it and it ****'s me off. I have to scrape and change my lifestyle to pay and bail out some SOB that couldn't live normal and had to keep up with the jones F'em all let them go bankrupt and learn what its like to live within your means.

One thing you said is very true the fat cats on wall street and DC will get rich off this dam bailout and the rest of us will struggle.
