Chip, the Central Valley of California has the highest foreclosure rate in the nation and it's been that way all this year.  If that's not a sign of the times.........

Just stopped by the dealership and talked to one of the guys that I've known for a number of years.  He let me know that sales has all but came to a halt and doesn't know what the future holds.  He was asking me my opnion of what I thought the economy would do in the near future.  I thought to myself "ooohhhh......this doesn't sound good at all".

Your talking to your dealer reminded me of a conversation I had with the owner here the other day. He hopes that he can sell 3 bikes a month, but only really expects that 1 a month will be sold. He expects that this will continue till April when the tourist season starts again.

WOW, 1 a month.
How does he keep the doors open?
How big a place is it?

I can't imagine that one sale would pay for much, at the very least he'd be showing the bank that there is "some" cash flow but you can't carry a business for very long on that. Most likely he'll be living on his credit line for a while.

The dealers won't have to sell as many 'cause they won't have as many to sell according the MOCO's latest statement of reducing their production.  We probably won't see to many more 'new' dealerships being built/expanded either.  Many people fear that we're already in the beginning of a 'recession'.  Maybe the foreigners will come over and buy all the houses for investment since they'll be so cheap with our current weak dollar exchange rate.     spyder

parts , bling, and clothing are dealers net. service is a have-to and bike sales keep the HOG groups buying bling. at least around these parts.
