Just got the news (from my local paper) that, due to a glut of inventory (my words), HD will shut down all production for 1 week during November. Employees will not receive their paychecks, but, will continue to receive their medical insurance during that week. Most of us have predicted that HD was flooding the market and now their employees will suffer the consequences (along with lower resale/trade-in values).
It seems like Harley is having trouble filling their inventory requirements to their dealers...at least around here anyway....is now a good time for a shut-down?

Same here (Eugene OR)... We wanted to see a Rocker ... Local dealer said to come back in November.
I talked to the dealer in Topeka who said Nov. or Dec. on the Rocker AND the Fat Bob.... kinda stinks with all the hype surrounding those two new models...
