Yeah, 'er 'uh, hd2003,
I can't say I have been totally in charge of all my Harley purchases, with the emotion level factored in, but I have always gotten what I considered to be a good deal. If I'm happy, and the Dealer is happy, that's a good deal, right? But, that's my Dealer. I think the reason the MoCo failed in meeting their objectives, is, as in all manufacturing, a direct result of their increase in supply over demand. This can only be blamed on their greedy "Botique Harley Dealers", continually raping Customers with gross MSRP bumps on the front end, and then, ramming it to them again on the back end, with 84 Month financing at 10-18% interest rates. The "Stealers", then convinced themselves it would never end. My Ol' Pappy told me that Pigs get fat, and Hogs go to slaughter! I do not term Profit as a dirty word. However, the constant price gouging and over charging of Customers, will ultimately end in ruin. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. There endeth the lesson. Later--HUBBARD
