Yep, do a search!

Looks like they are just filing Chpt 11, restructuring. Rumor is they will try to sell off the motorsports division and reestablish the cycling division as the stronghold they once were!

From a business perspective, I wonder how they justified the move into motorized sports as a natural addition to their bike business...
