From the CEO they have not closed and have not filed. We thank you for your patience, and your loyalty to American IronHorse Motorcycles" Buck Hendrickson, CEO American IronHorse Motorcycle CompanyĪnybody want to see the official response fro AIH I will be happy to e-mail it to you or post on this site. Moving forward, we will keep our network of dealers informed of all happenings, and hope that you will do the same.
As a manufacturer, we are also working diligently on projects to ensure a quality future both for us, and each of you. We are still offering incentives to dealers to help sell bikes, and hope that you will take advantage of these programs. As a manufacturer, if we do not take action to prevent a repeat of a problem, we are committing a huge injustice to each of you, and to ourselves. This same overproduction and overloading of dealers has led to the majority of problems that you each see on a daily basis. We are currently in a production hold, in an attempt to prevent overproduction from the factory, or overloading individual dealers. Despite rumors, we are not closed, we have not filed bankruptcy, and we are not abandoning our dealers. " This letter is intended to address dealers concerns with American IronHorse. Below is the letter that Buck Hendrickson, CEO, just sent to all American IronHorse Dealers. Can it be only temporarily? It’s what I wish them. This during a 2 week layoff already in place. Employees were told possible return in march but nothing definitive. Laying off pretty much everyone with the exception of a couple of big salaries. " American IronHorse closed its doors officially this past week.
Follow the confirmation I received from one of their employees. American IronHorse was the main competitor of Big Dog Motorcycles in the market segment of "production custom motorcycles". Sad news at a time where we are in Cincinnati celebrating our love for the V-Twin industry.
