Heh, good grief, there's some sheep for you. HD buys MV, and since HD has infinite wisdom, it is now O.K. to like MV.

I'm sure Dark Knight had nothing to do with it.



Hell, even mouth-breathers like Batman.

The only reason I mentioned this was cause I hit up MotoCorsa today and there seemed like an unusual number of Harleys in the lot... I asked about it... and Mat said, "Ever since Harley bought MV.... they been coming around to see what it's all about."
I've always liked the look of MV. i don't know to much about the company itself, but if Hd just bought them, they must be going in the shitter. Pretty soon you start see make the beast with two backsing sissy bar's in the back of them and nothing but beer belly jackass's riding them. Wink

Will the shop that produce's MV be closed down or will Hd move the whole thing and Producer them along side Buell?

Due to corporate mergers/buyouts and such, it turns out that HD owned MV back in the late 60s/early 70s.  So MV is returning to a former owner. Grin

According to what I've seen, MV will remain in Italy with it's own r&d and design.   waytogo

Hey Billy.

The weekend was awesome!  I got 4 laps before my first race on Saturday.  Smiley  I will write up a full report and post it shortly, but here are the highlights;

First race took 9th, second took 11th, and third took 14th.  My lap times are pretty good for less then 28 laps total on the track.  My quickest was a 1:42, the fastest guys turn 1:30s as a reference.  Smiley

Cierra went with me, and no, spawn didnt pop out yet.  Smiley
