The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We have one: "Detlev Louis", Europe's leading motorcycle equipment company.

A typical Warren Buffett company: After having been in the family for decades the founder died, the widow looked for a roof which would ensure a long future for their "child", contacted Warren, and he bought it.

Typical Warren: This highly successful company continues under the roof of Berkshire to operate as before! As me and all my motorbike friends are buying everything from helmets to brake pads and chains at "Detlev Louis" I regularly visit it. Even now, 7 years later, everything is still the same --- so much so that I bet nearly none of their customers has any idea that it changed ownership.
