On the news today, it just said they were going to shut down production for just one week, and that the effected employees would not be paid during that period.

The lay-off by Harley Davidson was announced in September, according to there web site. It also said all employees would have all benefits. It affects 5400 employees, which is accredited to low sales.

disposible income is not what it used to be for most folks, and the first to suffer is the big toys.

And the flip side is if NEW big toys arn't selling then the resale price of used big toys will drop also.

It was just a one week down time with full Benies. Wife's cousin works at the York plant and he said they all knew it was coming for a time now so they all made vacation plans, doctor vists, .. etc. No biggie.
