Harley Davidson company began manufacturing in 1903 out of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin plant. Their recent decision to sell off nearly half of the manufacturing plant to a developer translates to nearly 500 plus lay-offs. Some, if not all of those that work for Harley Davidson are loyal employees with years of history with the  company. 

In addition, what is happening nearly 1,247 miles away is not much brighter. For instance in south Florida where I am from Harley Davidson Motorcycle empire as we once knew it, is forever changed.  Harley Davidson lost an icon. On July 30, 2009 Bruce Rossmeyer died in a motorcycle accident. His wife, Sandy and five children survived him. Bruce Rossmeyer had dealerships throughout Florida. He lived his passion. He built his empire and business around what he enjoyed and made it very successful.

Although the losses are great, and by the way Triumph has closed some of their dealerships as well. Harley Davidson Motorcycles still build metal masterpieces. Plus if you own a Harley Davidson Motorcycles you will not be short of friends and things to do! Freedom of the road comes with a Warning: don’t forget the honey. Get two bikes or invest in a seat comfy for two. Don’t leave anyone behind! You may not want to return.
