    Harley-Davidson is an American motorcycle manufacturer with a rich history and cultural tradition. Founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, WI, Harley just celebrated its 100th anniversary with a series of events around the world that culminated in hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists rallying last summer on the shores of Lake Michigan. In 1929, there were 241 motorcycle manufacturers in the US. After the Depression, only two remained: Harley and Indian. By 1953, Indian went out of business, leaving Harley-Davidson as the only American motorcycle manufacturer. Financial difficulties in the 1970’s led to the parent company, AMF putting the motorcycle division up for sale. Without a buyer, a group of Harley managers bought out the company and rescued it with a business turnaround that included brand extensions into licensed goods, such as apparel and related accessories. Now a publicly owned company, Harley has scored double digit growth for eighteen consecutive years. Harley transformed itself into a strong marketing company with a focus on lifestyle image and product quality.…

    Harley Davidson Inc is the leading motorcycle company in the United States, with an approximate 46% market share. It derives its revenue from the sale of motorcycles to dealers, the sales of parts and Harley Davidson accessories, and the financing of approximately 53% of its U. S. Consumer motorcycle purchases. Harley Davidson stock sold for P12.70 per share in late March 2009, down from a high of $70 in October 2007. Harley Davidson like manufacturers of big-ticket items has been hurt by the U.S. recession and the securitization liquidity crisis. Harley Davidson’s 2008 Annual Report refers to two major lawsuits, the claims of which Harley Davidson vigorously contests and which Harley Davidson has asked the courts to dismiss. These lawsuits deal with the year 2004 through April 2005, and the complaints are based on interviews with more than twenty confidential witnesses who worked for Harley Davidson. The lawsuit allege that Harley Davidson engaged in channel stuffing to inflate the sales of its motorcycles to its dealers and Harley Davidson Financial Services lowered its consumer underwriting standards to make loans to people who ordinarily would not qualify, artificially boosting its sales to meet Wall Street expectations. In effect, the lawsuits accuse Harley Davidson of making sub-prime motorcycle loans and increasing substantially the percentage of such loans in order to meet earnings estimates. Harley Davidson denies all allegations. The lawsuits further allege that there was substantial insider selling of stock while these activities were going on.…
