too bad... i may witness my two favorite things budweiser and harley die within years of one another.
It's not like the economy had anything to do with it.

corporate greed is what caused the economy to be in the state it's in, handing out unsound loans a major factor of which HD is definitely guilty of.

KKR is just the same kind of company that bought out the corp i work for presently. Basically they do the buy out, go into that company and reorganize it top down, try to get it turning an even higher profit..then they sell it off to increase there profits agian...in all its a short term investment for KKR if they are actually doing this. But, when they sell it off they can and probably will sell it off in peices because to make it profitable they will have to break it all up.
