Harley-Davidson is donating 28 new Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles to assist with the Haiti earthquake disaster. The bikes are being shipped to the disaster zone from the Dominican Republic where H-D has a facility."Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this devastating disaster in Haiti," said Rod Copes, Sr. Vice President of International Sales, Marketing and Business Development for Harley-Davidson. "As the relief and stabilization efforts continue, motorcycles can often offer a higher degree of maneuverability and access than other types of vehicles."The motorcycles will remain in Haiti as a permanent donation to the government.                                                                                                                                                                             

Nice offer, but are they really going to be much use in a disaster zone ?                                                                                                                                                                             

Just when Haiti thought the worst was over ......here comes HD to make things worse                                                                                                                                                                               

All publicity is good publicity !!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

BJ if that was KTM, BMW or any of the japs i would say yes but come on HD no sorry.....thats just over excited American sales tossers thinking hey this could be a good deal!!!! maybe to Americans but not to someone with common sense....FHHD.
                                                                                                                                                                             

I never said it was a good idea lol just that the americans are def not publicity shy                                                                                                                                                                              

You can say that again BJ lol

                                                                                                                                                                             

............... tempted ....................... no better not lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Still can't find out any more on this.... I am guessing (hoping) that it would be mostly Buell Ulysses they sent over.                                                                                                                                                                              

Not being cynical. But sweetener for when the rebuild contracts get handed out                                                                                                                                                                             

I think they should leave HAITI as it is and hold a round of the out door world trails championship there.
