Well the economic woes continue. Harley Davidson Motorcycles has announced that they will lay off about 1100 people, and they will ship fewer motorcycles in 2009.
This is not the first time that Harley Davidson Motorcycles has faced tough economic times. Some may remember when they were taken over by AMG many moons ago.

Obviously, I feel for the poor souls at Harley Davidson Motorcycles that are losing their jobs right now. I am also very concerned about Harley Davidson Motorcycle as a whole. I hope that they do not jack up prices for new motorcycles now that they are going to produce fewer motorcycles at least in 2009. I think that would be a ticket to more economic disaster.
In my humble opinion as a California Motorcycle Accident Attorney, the best thing that Harley Davidson can do right now is to drop the price of its motorcycles and parts. A price decrease may increase sales.
I do not purport to be an expert on motorcycle production or marketing, but in these economic times, Harley Davidson Motorcycles needs to do what they need to do to survive.
