I haven't seen that in a long while. That is a classic as true then as it is now. |

I knew when it was announced that H-D would close around 200 dealers it was bleak but this is really striking close to home. Hopefully it is only temporary and things will return to normal!

The sad side of managing a company is proper resource usage when times are tough. Sometimes a company has to do things to stay viable. I have had to deal with it at my company many times.
That is why I almost never will vote for a politician unless he has had to fire or lay people off during his career. It is a reality check that most politicians in office cannot pass. It also explains why most do not live in the real world. |

Partially, not entirely, accurate.
Some dealers will be consolidated in territories. |

I was for 15 years. Well, at least the original core people were. With growth came more out for themselves. All went down the drain. I hope better for the elves.

I've watched the bikes, their problems and fixes over the last 2 years. Despite being very critical of things (rightly and wrongly) I find myself liking them more and more. Other brands did not survive the same scrutiny. Even the Big 4 have few models of interest.
So yeah, I may help clear some inventory. Time to visit some of the dealers down here. Don't pass the kool-aid just yet but I may be thirsty soon. |

Just something I think that should be done whenever Obama speaks. Imagine the flushing.
Yeah, I just flushed mine after reading that fodder you posted.
btw - I watched the President of the United States address Congress last night. Sure was refreshing to hear the truth for a change. |

And they have ten of them lined up as you walk in the front door. A pretty sight, for sure. |

back in 2006, LakeShore Harley-Buell had 14 Ulysses lined up in their front showroom window. That sure was a tempting sight, but I purchased mine from Ukes instead.
Sadly, LakeShore still has one 2006 Ulysses left for $6995.00 in the fast black color. |
