yes they did. As part of it they bought Cagiva as well, which doesn't bode well. Bad enough getting the Raptor parts as it is, without HD falling flat on its face and killing them all.

the tractors are overpriced rust buckets anyways. Their paint is worse than Suzukis finest emusion :-) Oh and their chrome, and their nuts n bolts are made out of the most corrosive metal possible.... which is why all tractor riders only come out in summer.

Harley, benelli, mv augusta, keyway (?) and probably more. Serious job losses going on :(. Infact my cousin works for benelli, could be bad news for him and his family.
Brilliant news though eh
