I have a insider at MoCo and these have facts been leaked to me. Please do not share.. I dont wanna ruin my contact..
1. HD will be manufacturing biodiesel bikes in 2010 to be in compliance with the administration's "green" initiatives.
2. All factory exhausts will be equipped with 3G transponders so the engine will not run if aftermarket exhaust is installed. Besides satisfying EPA noise regulations it will allow the gov't to further insure your safety by tracking your speed and location.
3. HD has applied for a patent on a helmet detection interlock system. The system uses low power lasers to detect the presence of a HD branded helmet on the driver or it disables the ignition. It is not known if these will be avaialble for 2010 bikes or will wait until 2011.

I hear hd is gonna stop making motorcycles all together. Only wheel chairs, butter knifes, and printer cartridges. But they are going to keep the motorclothes lines as thats where they make the most profit is.
