Coulda, shoulda, woulda? Triumph a privately owned company doesn't have to deal with the parameters of corporate governance,ie stockholders. Mr Bloor rolls the dice on his own dime, HD management doesn't. Triumph is far more progressive than HD for this reason. All one has to do is check out Triumph's line of bikes.
Both firms have to deal with banks and bondholders, but I don't believe Triumph finances bike purchases like HD. I imagine HD has taken a huge hit with the current economy on that.
My guess is that Buell MC is worth more than 125 mil selling it in pieces. I have always like Mr Buell and wish him the best.
It's interesting that all these critics of HD's decision to pull the plug on Buell don't own Buells. Will all these critics " roll the dice on their own dime", pony up and invest in the new Buell MoCo? If so Mr Buells future looks bright.
