Bad news for H-D
Hi folks,
H-D has a recall: http://www.nbcnews.com/business/auto...lebags-n397171
I hope it works out OK for them,

THIS IS WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
According to that Headline .....This involves 2 years of production involving certain models ...How many ??? 185,000.......This has to be a mis-print. I know H.D. sells a lot of Bikes but 185,000 in two years. I find that hard to believe ......Mike

Too bad....
don't wish it on anyone but it shows that mistakes and faulty parts go into all vehicles... it's tough when your product is dependant on others...

Glad to hear that it was an easy thing to fix!
And your sales numbers are correct: they are a MAJOR player in the market; Can Am isn't...(Yet...)

Soooooooo, it sounds like the H.D. numbers are correct.....To expand, then in one year HD sells more Bikes than BRP has sold since the Spyder was brought to market 8 years ago........Question ? How can BRP even produce the Spyder with these LOW numbers and at the Price they do.? ? Mike
