I thought we were in a recession. I am glad to see it though, some good deals to be had out there for those looking to upgrade (change) to the touring family.

My dealer reported a record month. Don't know how this compares to other dealers but they sold 60 bikes last month.

jmac, just making an observation about new bike posts I am seeing on this forum and about new bikes amongst my buds, not meant as anything more than that.

Up here in the Great White North I have been in three dealers recently and they all have touring bikes sitting on the floor. Not dressed up to kill bikes either. Just basic bikes with ABS. Most unusual for this time of the year
