Muffman, these people aren't pissed, they're happy to pay the price and have their toys when they want them. I've stated before that I know for a fact how FB aquires the majority of the CVO's he sells. Many poor /small state H-D dealerships cannot sell their allotment of CVO's but don't want to give them up because they want to be able to offer the full product line. They are happy to get MSRP even if it's from another dealer. As stated by the sales guy at FB's place, that's the only way they have so many to put on the floor. FB gets the Super RUB trade. These folks come down to Daytona for Bike Week or Biketoberfest and want what they want and want it now. It's like my story about the 1000 TC sheets elsewhere. They're used to be gouged. They think if they don't pay through the nose then they bought a 2nd quality product, a blem. I'm serious, these people have so much discretionary income they don't give a damn what something costs so long as they can have it when they want it. They're like overgrown 2 year olds and FB caters to them. I don't care for the guy, don't care for his tactics, but as somebody trying to figure out a new way to make a buck, I gotta say I admire his capacity for making money.
