Any legitimate business going out is sad, but mostly for the employees and their families, in my view. That said, I must put my .02 in. The old Harley Dealers will survive. I'm talkin' about the ones who have been here since the late 60's and early 70's. The ones that eat, drink, and sleep Harley-Davidson. The ones that have a passion beyond words for this product. Like the ones in my immediate area that I know and respect. Like Don Tilley, Gene Lumas, Ray Price, and Mike Adkins. These guys treat people like people, not customers that have to buy something from them at more than a fair price. While I have compassion for the employees, I have none for Dealers that gouge just because they can. For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone with any intelligence at all, absent health reasons, or circumstances beyond ones control, could go broke with a Dealer Agreement from the MoCo. I'm talking about a reputable business man, with a business plan, with a LOVE for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles and the Lifestyle, and sufficently capitalized. The ones that don't have those qualifications, and the burning desire to be successful in an agreement with the MoCo, are doomed in my opinion. Like some of these dumb-a$$ed car dealers that the MoCo gave Dealer Agreements. They will never get any of my hard-earned dollars. The common law of business dictates you can't pay a little, and get a lot. Nor can you pay a lot, and get a little. It will come back and bite your a$$. As my Dear Ol' Departed Pappy told me before he left this cruel world, "Pigs get fat, and Hogs go to slaughter." There endeth the lesson. Later--HUBBARD
