2 arrested for crash that killed motorcyclist in Fullerton
A man and a woman were arrested on Saturday in connection with a deadly crash that killed a motorcyclist in Fullerton. It happened at around midnight near the intersection of Euclid Street and Bastanchury Road, where officers arrived to find a damaged 1993 Harley-Davidson motorcycle on the ground near a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe that was connected to a 1996 Prowler recreational trailer, according to the Fullerton Police Department. The motorcyclist was also on the ground suffering from serious injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. They say that the woman was driving the Chevrolet eastbound on Bastanchury when she stopped near the center median due to an undisclosed mechanical issue. The second person in the truck, an unidentified man, attempted to reverse and caused the trailer to jack-knife and extend across both lanes of the road, straight into the motorcyclist's path as he traveled westbound on Euclid, police said. "Both the adult female driver and the adult male who attempted to move the vehicle were arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs," police said. "It remains unclear whether drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in relation to the rider's operation of the motorcycle." Investigators said that the trailer was also damaged in the crash. Anyone who knows more or witnessed the incident is asked to contact investigators at (714) 738-6815.

Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG) on Business Model Mastery's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on HOG. Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG)'s share was trading at $24.71 as of 27th May. HOG's trailing and forward P/E were 8.71 and 8.80 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. This iconic motorcycle company is far more than a vehicle manufacturer—it is a vertically integrated lifestyle brand with a highly defensible and profitable ecosystem. While motorcycles comprise most of its sales volume, the real profits come from parts, accessories, apparel, and especially financing. Parts and accessories, which account for nearly 16% of product sales, carry margins above 50%, and in-house financing, used in over 70% of U.S. purchases, locks in customers through a lifetime value loop. The brand's cultural significance, anchored by a 37.3% market share in the U.S. heavyweight segment and a trademarked engine sound, creates emotional resonance that rivals can't replicate. Its global dealer network of 1,224 locations enables end-to-end monetization—from sales and customization to financing and loyalty programs—under one roof. Despite holding only 5% market share in Europe, the region offers a major growth opportunity amid rising motorcycle registrations. Meanwhile, the electric spin-off LiveWire, though small today, is developing a maxi-scooter with KYMCO to target Asia's rapidly electrifying markets. The company's multi-layered moat includes brand equity, dealer integration, regional manufacturing agility, and a captive financial arm that boosts both margin and retention. Every new customer initiates a cycle of aftermarket purchases and community involvement, turning each sale into a long-term funnel. Harley's Riding Academy feeds this loop by converting trainees into buyers. Ultimately, this business is not about units sold but about lifetime engagement. Its real power lies in total control—from design to distribution—and in transforming a single sale into a durable relationship. In a commoditized world, this emotional connection is a financial fortress. For a comprehensive analysis of another standout stock covered by the same author, we recommend reading our summary of their bullish thesis on Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE). Since our coverage, the stock is up 3.3% as of 28th May. Harley-Davidson, Inc. (HOG) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds.
