so far in 7 pages we have two differant camps.... those that think there is no personal responseability from someone who has a loan,and those that think that people need to take care of business when its time to take care of it. oops forgot the camp that loves to bash harley at any excuse and mouth off about "in this economy" sometimes this place makes you shake your head and say "what the Hell"

There's something to be said for a local credit union. When I bought my bike it took a phone call with just a few details about the bike like the price, model, etc...I rode my new RKC to the credit union to sign the papers. Afterwards my lending officer came outside shook my hand and congratulated me. Oh and the interest rate was about 6% less than the rate HD quoted me.
My interest rate was just 3.5% at CU as well.

I hear ya. I thought all this would quite after I put my "lesson learned" post out which basically said I took some responsibility and so did the dealership but others keep going on. I just look at their location and take it for what it's worth. I probably shouldn't make that comment but you know how us Texans are ![Smile](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I didn't see your location but right now you are lucky you are not here. It's been raining here for over a week. It's supposed to be clear for the weekend and then start again on Monday. I am wanting to put some miles on the bike without getting wet.

I agree that it was his responsibility. But, at the same time, I believe businesses DO IN DEED take advantage of any opportunity to cash in on things like this purposely. And, I do believe it is time we as consumers took a stand in order to stop illicit business practices. We all saw what happens when an entire nation stops purchasing a product, (gasoline), in the qunatities we once did at outrageous prices. If it isn't going to be done by a majority, then there are going to have to be a few 'martars' for the cause, to create a business model that we can all 'live' with. I know, just call me a crusader for modern day consumerism. LOL

What Sucks is I read all 8 pages and knew from the original post that he PTag should have been proactive and started making contact with someone about his payment. If anything I would have made contact about paperwork so that I could get the bike registered and pay the taxes (Arkansas).
But I still read the entire thread, why didn't I just stop there. Wasted 10 minutes.

Back to the original post. I'm not surprised at all. There are a few good dealers, very few.
