Harley Davidson has laid off 20 percent of their employees. They have also closed many different plants. They are working on revamping the company and they say as many as 300 to 400 more jobs could be cut in the next two years.

It could cost up to $150 million in the next two years to reconstruct the company. Shares for the company closed Wednesday on the NY stock exchange at $17.13.

Harley Davidson has been around since 1903. It was started when a man, William S. Harley who built the very first one. In 1904 the very first shop was opened to sell them. Harley Davidson is a great company that has been around for over 100 years.

With summer coming and gas prices rising, I am sure people will be buying a lot of bikes to help with keeping their pockets with more money, due to saving a lot of gas. I personally know a lot of people who love and ride their bikes anytime they can.

This is just the kind of news everyone wants and needs to hear about right now. More employees out of work.

This just seems to be getting ALOT worse instead of better as they should be.

When will all of this horrid new finally stop, and allow people to once again breath freely and with out a ton of stress.
