   Item 5.   Other Events.

             On May 14, 1994, the shareholders of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the
   "Company") approved a proposed restructuring of the Company's Motorcycle
   Division.  On November 28, 1994, the Company effected certain actions
   pursuant to that authority.  Prior to November 28, the Company held
   substantially all the assets of its Motorcycle Division directly and held
   the assets of its Transportation Vehicles Division separately through
   Holiday Rambler.  As a result of asset and liability transfers on November
   28, (i) H-D Michigan, Inc., a newly-formed Michigan corporation and a
   wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Michigan"), now holds
   substantially all Harley-Davidson trademark rights and copyrights and
   certain other intellectual property rights previously owned by the Company
   and (ii) Harley-Davidson Motor Company, a newly-formed Wisconsin
   corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Michigan ("Motor"), owns
   substantially all of the other assets of the Motorcycle Division that were
   previously owned directly by the Company and has assumed related
   liabilities.  Among other things, Motor now owns the office, manufacturing
   and testing facilities, machinery and equipment in Milwaukee and Tomahawk,
   Wisconsin, York, Pennsylvania, and Talladega, Alabama, and substantially
   all of the employees of the Motorcycle Division have been transferred to
   Motor.
