Here in Colorado everyone jumps on the motorcycle bandwagon by the beginning of Summer. They know they can get MSRP right now.

I talked to the sales manager about sales. He said they were having a record month because of gas prices. I had to pay MSRP, but they waived all other fees.
i still love that argument.....But if someone is dumb enough to believe it, then all the power to the dealers. Think about it:

Typical HD Bagger is $20,000.
Gas is currently $3.20 a gallon (approx for regular)
$20,000/$3.20 is 6,250 gallons of gas.

Your typical car get about 25 miles per gallon
6,250 x 25 = 156,250 miles of driving for the price of one HD Bagger.

I wish people (not you wbogley) weren't so friggin ignorant to think that by buying a $20,000 motorcycle they are somehow saving money on gas.

Its just plain stupid.

I hear what you guys are saying, but my SUV gets 15 mpg. The street glide is getting 42 mpg. Guess which one I am taking to work and riding 7 days a weekall summer long.....?
Ok.....Well lets figure it out for 15mpg. You would have been able to drive 6,250 miles x 15 mpg = 93,750 miles before you could justify buying a $20,000 bike (and thats if you pay cash for it). Thats not including servicing or fuel for the bike.

If it sells it to the wife, then by all means use it. But its not a realistic excuse.
