That's entirely possible - you know those salesmen get demonstration models.

I don't think too many guys would be asking for a test ride.

I am sure that Harley is worried. Just as worried as they were when Victory came out, or when Indian came (and went).

Hmmm ... I seem to recall a time where the 'Gubmint had to bail them out, plus slap a tariff on the imports to keep H-D afloat.

I also seem to recall a few folks on here maintaining that (any) companies requiring this level of assistance should be left to die.


" I'd rather push a Harley than ride a Honda".
---> That's good because it's generally what you'll be doing.

"There are more old Harley's still on the road than any other motorcycle".
---> Yup. That's usually where you'll see 'em when they break down - on the side of the road.

Oh, and don't ask what colour my Johnson is right now

Glad to see you were "satisfied" with your new bike -- I'm sure you look forward to numerous "rides" in the years to "come".......

You obviously are clueless to the quality of todays Harley Davidson Motorcycles....hence their resale value also!.......
