Done deal, finally...

Unanimous vote too, but how much did they get?

Too late Mike, obviously that job's been taken.

I do wonder what they voted on though, I thought a board vote would be
whether to accept X compensation for Y assets. We know what the Y's
are, how 'bout telling us what the X is? In other words, how big is
Jimbo's r check?

 

They should have bought Aermacchi.

Really, the mind boggles.

 

If you're alluding to the H-D/MV deal it is somewhat curious, isn't it?
($/Euro exchange rate? That had to hurt a little, doncha' think?)
Anyway, maybe now they'll fully fund Enraldo, then again it's Harley
and who F'ing knows?..

Btw, IIRC and I'm fairly sure I do,(given a few old scars) H-D did own
Aeromachi once. They made some kickazz 350 thumper's and for a while
did very well in RR here, and after being "'Merkanized" turned into
"most excellent" flat track bikes too.
Yeah, those were the days, back before DMG and the France's, only
trouble is, well, it wasn't, not even close. Which brings me back to
what I said a while back, if anyone can bring M/C racing in this
country more mainstream it's these guys and apparently the AMA board
feels the same way. Heh, either that, or they were just soooo happy to
be done with it all. In any case, and like it or not, it's Daytona
Motorsports Group OFFICIALLY calling the shots from now on...
