    GM has some of the nicest cars at the car show I just went to. Very impressive. Seems they have stepped it up. Glad they are still here.

    Ask my grandmother how she made out on the gm bailout. She was living off the stocks that her husband left her after he retired from gm. She wasn't part of the union bail out stock plan and was left for dead. No matter how you slice the gm bailout it was catostrophic to many. One day they may even pay back the billions they still owe. Glad they are doing well. And I'm very glad ford is doing well. Sorta a sore spot for me as you could imagine. Rant over and hopefully nobody is offended by what happened to our family.

    Sorry to hear it but if the company went under the same thing would have happened but many jobs were saved. I'm not all happy about it but in the end think it was best for the USA with the very limited insight I have into it.

    Time for Stefan to buy them, maybe a Ktm would look good in Red.
    One less competitor for his other acquisitions.

    SP stated he could not sell Bergs due to the low name brand recognition. This company here in question would have the same issue anywhere outside the place that are made. Just to prove his point, the Husqvarna brand which he owns now, is selling well past his dreams ... SP and most of us realize the Husqvarna brand has a long and well-known history that is pretty much driving these early sells of the Husqvarna brand bikes.

    funny ... It's actually all about the Husqvarna brand in Cafe Husqvarna but we'll just ignore that.

    Time to ride for me ... Little seat time on the Husky and on a track ... Women and children please stand-back from that berm ... Ok, you kids can stay but ....

    lol ...Right!

    Here's another reality check for some \ many of you guys here ... Most people don't actually know that :) ... I'd bet out of the new riders on Huskies, they do not actually care either. Life is great between our ears but you gotta venture out into the real, unknown, sometimes unforgiving, world. Like SP does.
