Dat's true, I don't know the exact percentage of the market that Harley has, all I am say'n is they're gonna do whatever they have to do to survive, I don't think that America, especially with our new leader in the house, would let Harley go under, kinda like when we bailed out Dodge and some other auto makers, it is just part of the American culture and needs to survive.

Could have been a bunch of disgruntled employees for payback, I guess they taught them a lesson. Or maybe the the guy that wrote the article blew it outta context, I would tend to lean toward the latter.
The article is a little click bait written as an attention grabber. That 200 were layoffs and that was back in September of 2016 they havent announced any further layoffs.
Now fast forward to the article mentioning shutting down the York plant recently that is something car or MC manufacturer do from time to time based on sales. Don't want to have too much new inventory otherwise they will have to discount it at year end. The article seems to be ASSUMING a recall but doesn't give us a reliable source to back that claim.
I'll be watching Harley's earnings announcement and based on Victory recently not selling and Polaris shutting them down and seeing the sale numbers on the Indians I am expecting Harley will be down in the touring market which is their most profitable bikes. Easier to squeeze a nice profit out of a 26-36k bike than a 8-12k.

Originally choppers were never sold but made at home...never has a chopper really been massed produced until 2000-2008 and still those numbers don't compare to Harley. The market has always been fairly small.

I know when I was in Daytona last March they wanted stupid money for those with the big front wheel.......I'm talking 60 and 70 thousand.
Gotta pay big money for something that ugly..

I remember calling the baggers Garbage wagons and Ole Man bikes and now most of the ole men I know are trading them in for lighter bikes or trikes.
Us ol baggers set the trend, and the youngins buying our left overs can't work on them so the trading begins 
and the prices go down
