Files-Harley-Emissions-Cheating-Devices

(FILES) This file photo taken on February 2, 2009 shows a Harley-Davidson motorcycle displayed at a Harley-Davidson store in St. Paul, Minnesota.
US motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson on August 18, 2016 entered a $15 million settlement with US authorities who accused the company of making and selling illegal devices that increased air pollution from its bikes. The company, the iconic American manufacturer large and loud motorcycles, agreed to buy back and cease selling so-called "super tuners," which improved performance but increased hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Snow is seen on top of narrow boats are seen at sunset on Regents Canal in Little

Snow is seen on top of narrow boats are seen at sunset on Regents Canal in Little Venice in central London February 3, 2009. An icy night and forecasts of more heavy snow disrupted airports and schools across the country for a second day on Tuesday with hundreds of flights delayed or cancelled. Millions of people returned to work in the south east as transport systems stalled by Monday's blizzards slowly returned to operation, but tens of thousands of children were given a another day off because schools across the country remained closed.
