Interesting reading about how value of bikes is changed with poor loan candidate loans!

That would be the same problem that Lucent had meaning they held the loans and booked them as sales revenue (reported to Stock holders) when the vendors (or customers) go out of business or fail to pay they HD and lucent come with a large revenue short fall. The next quarter the stock takes a hard hit and falls and everyone runs to the lawyers and they call it a burst bubble
HD stock I don't have any . I do however have a lot of Lucent that is the main reason I'm still at work. If you are counting on the stock market for your retirement you may have more fun and get the same return at a (horse) track.
The article you posted would count as a very forward looking statement - Meaning Please buy now so I can unload mine and get out
That depends on many bikes they have to eat -- the auto industry at least has a third party involved so when you do not pay it belongs to the bank not the dealer, That is the main difference in a hobby shop and a car dealer.
