American Ironhorse Sold Out Of Bankruptcy
June 30, 2008
Hey,
There is a new owner of American Ironhorse.Scott Meyers, a former defense industry executive was the court appointed buyer. Mr. Meyers paid $6.7 million dollars plus he is taking on the liabilities of extended warranties. The final sales price is about $8 million.
Mr. Meyers plans to move to Ft Worth Texas to run the company.He is honoring waranties on existing bikes.Mr, Meyers currently operate A.I.H. dealerships in Montana and Minnesota. The court rejected an offer from Lynn Tilton who argued he had made a better offer.
We think it’s great that AIH is back in business and that it will remain in Ft. Worth. We think it is very cool that Mr. Meyers is honoring warranties and service contracts.We had a number of readers write to ask what they could do about warranties on the bikes they had purchased before the bankruptcy filing some as recently as a week before. It is good for these trusting people and for the industry itself that Mr. Meyers is stepping up. We salute him and wish him the best of luck. It is also great that a lot of people will still have a job doing what they love.

I own an American Ironhorse 2006 Outlaw, I previously had a Harley, there is no comparison. I hope AIH keeps up with it’s larger cubic in. V-Twins and all chrome custom bikes. Harley Davidson makes a fine bike but when you ride an AIH, heads turn and you feel like you have something special. I hope new owner Scott Meyer doesn’t plan on going with a comparable bike.
