With Thanksgiving fast approaching, and everyone’s thoughts turning to the big feast, I decided to look at some of Harley-Davidson’s turkeys that made news in 2008–albeit for the wrong reason in my opinion.
It’s never nice to point out the flaws in plans, products or ad schemes if they are questionable, failed or are in the process of going downhill, but it would also be irresponsible to simply just forget the follies of some of Harley’s bigger turkeys.
Click through the list to get a juicy taste of these ’08 Turkeys:
- Hired Hip-Hop Artist Run DMC For Judges At HD “Hot Model” Contest
- We Don’t Do Fear Ad Campaign
- Headcount Reductions Announced Q1
- HD Stars in Indiana Jones Movie
- Mv Augusta Group Purchase
- HD States Obvious Market Declines In Q2 Results
- HD Announces Tri Glide Ultra Classic and Ford Announced “Big Hog Daddy” Hauler
- Sex Sells – Ad Campaign with Marisa Miller

You have a link to a site that is known for scamming people of money for transportation and even their motorcycles. The link uship.com
I suggest you remove that link from your site.
If need be, go to the uship community and view posts in the “ASK MICKEY” board. You will get an eye opener.
Uship is known for deleting forum posts that show the scams and the upset people but they are not very good at removing all the posts. You can find some doozies.
do a google blog search for uship and go through there too, some really great truthful stories from non-biased sites
@ Bill – took care of it. Thx for the heads up.
Yeah there are a couple of bad stories on there, but i got my motorcycle shipped by a fully compliant carrier at about half the cost of what i got quoted from DAS. You just have to not be stupid and don’t choose somebody with no feedback and no authority. If you do that, i think uship is by far the best place to go for quotes – i’d sure trust it a hell of a lot more than most ways to get quotes – especially if you’re on a budget
