    If anyone has another link to the news, it would be good if you could post it. Multiple sources for something like this would be good.

    A friend who's been in the industry for a long time posted he knows someone there and the story is they're closed, everyone is laid-off, BUT the company is for sale. No bankruptcy....yet. Sounds like it's not 100% over....yet.

    Sad, but CN has sucked since they combined CN East and West. I was on cover of CN a couple times.

    Very sad. I grew up with the paper and would have a buddy of mine drive me to Yamaha City in Charlotte every Friday to but a copy. Of course that allow us time to look at the Yamaha MX's and of course the CZ's. Guess I will save the stack I have left. It's like a loss of a friend.
