I was at a H-D store yesterday in Minnesota and there was a H-D truck unloading more scooters, the store is packed full of new scoots
This dealership had a Blue SEUC, Black SERK and Red FXDSE on the showroom floor at MSRP

Thanks Bubba...I like public service announcements.   It's good to know that they're starting to roll in again.  They were probably the ones that were ready to be shipped when they shut the lines down and didn't quite make it to the trucks.
Cheers ,

Thanks, Bubba.  Good news.  Waughs (in Orange, VA) got a handful in as well - no CVOs however.  Their factory contact told them my B&O would likely be about 4 weeks later than planned.  Least production started again.
Be safe,

Hey Tony, what was your original promise date? You must be thrilled that that's the only fallout from the strike concerning you. I hope you have it for the Trip to York. Looking forward to meeting you there! Hoist!

Original ship date was 2 March, so I'm guessing April Fool's Day .  Hope I get in time to break it in "right" before York.  Either way plan to be there - just may not be able to keep up with everyone else .

Hey Bubba, you gotta understand that lots of these people bleed Black and Orange, spent years riding an American made motorcycle, and stayed loyal to HD in spite of their numerous defficiencies over all these years. No right to complain during the AMF days? No right to complain about crappy paint jobs on a $35K bike? If HD didn't have the loyal people, who love riding Harley's more than the torture they receive in return sometimes, you'd be out of a job! Their in business in spite of themselves. That's from brand loyalty not corporate loyalty. You gotta lighten up a little and stop taking this stuff personally. You try to help guys here get a bike. And sometimes you're treated wrong anyway. That's personal. But you're not the factory. You know sometimes, everyone at one point says, FTF! But we still ride Harleys. Hoist!

Yeah what Hoist said so well here. It's just business, nothing personal.....as the Godfather said.

Well Hoist my friend I suppose we can agree to disagree agreeably ....Im sure there are SOME on this forum who have more miles under thier butt then me but NOT many after 43 years on a bike and 31 on a Harley ...sure there are some quality problems now and there most likely always will be as long as humans (union workers) build them ....but to suggest just because the workers went out on strike that the quality may get worse is just horse crap IMHO .... I suppose Harley's quality control would really go up if they decided to fire all those high paid union workers and just start using machines to build everything and get rid of most the human factor but then there would be those that would find something else to B**CH about .....hell ITS A HARLEY for better or worse ...and coming from one who road those oil leaking, rattling, piss poor AMF's I would have to say for the BETTER ...ok ..OK ..Im off my soap box
