Call up investors relations

I will post the email I received from HD here without the person's name or address so you don't harass this woman to pieces. She is in charge of protecting the HD name. I sent her the Patriot press release asking if this was indeed true. I added the bit from the site about how they get the engines. On the phone they said that they believe the flow from the dealer will start drying up soon. Those extra separate twin cam engines are supposed to be used for a few custom bikes built by the dealers as project bikes. They are not supposed to be sold to others to build project bikes for mass manufacturing purposes. There is another company doing this also called BMC or something. They are an assembler, not a manufacturer, and they build VERY few bikes, so far just one. They look like ultra sledgehammer.

"Thank you for forwarding this and the press release to us. To answer your
question, there is nothing illegal in another motorcycle company using
legally-purchased HARLEY-DAVIDSON engines or other parts in the assembly of
its own motorcycles, or in advertising that fact in a truthful,
informational way. Nor, irrespective of how Harley-Davidson might feel
about it (and I can't speak to that because it's not my area), is there
anything illegal in dealers selling these components for this purpose.
However, my guess is that Patriot may find that getting its hands on a
relative handful of engines each year is one thing; getting its hands on
enough of them to go into anything resembling full production will be quite
another."
