Default HD Press release

Harley Davidson Motor Company today announced it is going to a single engine concept for 2009 - all models will have the same interchangeable engine.&nbsp\\;Engine used was decided by employee vote - immediately after informing them of a 25% pay cut.&nbsp\\;The chosen engine is the Buell Blast single cylinder engine.&nbsp\\;Essentially half a sportster engine.&nbsp\\;Half a sportster is better than none according to company spokesperson.&nbsp\\;Color options will be Flat Denim Black or two-tone Flat Denim Black and Line-X.&nbsp\\;Allowing customers to save money not buying wax and polish.&nbsp\\;Spokesperson quoted as saying "at least the remaining 2008s will fly out of the dealers now".
