15 % is a high cost for HOG, too bad the folks that ride can't get that fr them. Let's see, $20,000 x .15 ?? $3,000 off a new bike. Paying interest vs giving customers a better deal and keeping folks working?? I guess I don't understand stimulating the economy!
Warren is amaizing. His stock (A) price for Berkshire Hathway this mornings is .........$90,000/share!!
He bought a furniture company near me a couple of years ago called Jordans Furnature.
A couple of brothers owned it. He keeps one on as CEO and the other retired to the Caribbian. He comes in with a rented car like a Ford, flys coach, and writes his offers on napkins or note pads with his phone number an signature. Tells you his attorny will follow up.. Class act...bit of a grump though from what I read.
So now Berkshire Hathaway is buying Harley debt, maybe I should go knock on his front door to payoff my bike. It's only pocket change for that homeboy.

Good for him and us. At least Harley is getting the money from a private party and not the general public.
You're so right. Even better, it isn't coming from Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, China or other countries that are going to end up owning America if things don't change.
This is a real confidence builder for Harley and we're all the better for it because it makes our bikes special.
