Naw, his "slips" are deliberate snippets of info meant to go public. Like the "spy photos" of new bikes of years past we used to stage.
Edit, because I misread your question. Yes/no on Vance and Hines. Apparently HD is going to support dealers instead of a factory effort. Who knows what that means other than maybe better ocntingency but HD, doesn.t do development in house for a while now so I think they might just be hooking up dealers with support from a parts side maybe? I dunno. Definitely a shit situation. Lotta good dudes at Vance and Hines are probably looking for work. I can say with all the teams I have worked for, that was pretty fucking sweet being factory. there whole operation was motogp level 100%
The story at RRW.com confused me bit and now I'm trying to figure out what they are doing. https://www.roadracingworld.com/new...harley-davidson-restructuring-racing-program/ Reads to me that they are going very heavy into supporting dealer teams and leaving Vance and Hines in NHRA drag racing and Dirt Track. I hope I'm reading it wrong.
