The economy here is not roaring along but it is still kicking enough to move some bikes. I noticed today several HD's that looked new and a couple with paper tags. Always interesting to watch people handle their bikes in traffic and at stops. Had someone tell me one time that how I ride reflected my mood.

 

I've also seen some new bike out lately. Good to see.

 

Things here are do-able but seem far from good and even further from good in sales of any vehicle really.

 

I've talked to some guys around the country that are getting fantastic deals when buying excellent condition used bikes.

Some owners are holding out and trying to regroup as much as possible for their lightly used bikes, but others are taking whatever they can get just to bring in extra money.

It's a buyers market for sure..

 

No doubt about that, just wish things had a little more light at the end of the tunnel to take advantage of some of the deals out there. But in the words of Metallica, that bright light at the end of the tunnel could possibly be a freight train coming down. So I have to chill out and wait.

 

Had two people from work buy used bikes in the past week. One was a referral I made to Henderson HD so I scored 100 bucks in freebies, so I picked up a lay back license plate/turn signal relocation kit. Economy is doing fine by me this week.

 

was at dealer today to buy a gas cap, they used to have bands and free food every saturday knothing today and you could shoot a cannon thru the showroom floor and not hit a customer it was really sad, diden`t reconize any of the salesman and i have been going in there for 6 years

 

Wait till after christmas when the credit card bills start rolling in and the tax man comes prices will be even cheaper . See it every year ...
