Worked for Harley-Davidson for just three months from late 1965-66. He was behind a stolen parts scam in which new parts were smuggled out of the factory and sold to the unsuspecting. The alarm was raised when one Milwaukee dealer was offered 10,000 Harley spark plugs at 50 per cent of the cost of production. It transpired that 29,000 plugs were missing. The FBI was called in, thousands of dollars worth of missing parts were traced, and Buschmann went to prison.
