Harley to stop producing CVO motorcycles!

Due to a higher volume of sales of clothing, accessories and other harley paraphernalia, and coupled with tight financial times that put a further squeeze on overpriced,under performing machinery, Harley Davidson has partnered with Proptronics to produce a specialty motorcycle
called "CVO Stylin Iron". Proptronics is the company famous for making fake appliances that are used in model homes for purposes of show only. In a brilliant management decision, Harley Davidson decided to face the fact that the only reason most people buy their equipment is indeed as fashion accessory. By building a prop motorcycle, costs can be dramatically cut.

The new "CVO Stylin Iron" will have the look and feel of a real Harley CVO motorcycle and comes equipped with a recorded potato-potato synthesizer and

Will probably be one of HD's best sellers!  It seems that a lot of people spending 30K plus on a bike prefer to just look at 'um instead of ride.  Some even buy trailers to haul 'um around so they can show 'um to their buds! [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I went to my dealer and ordered one today.  Had to pay $2500 over, but I should be the first on my block to have one.  Should I go with the the PC or the Race Tuner.

It would have some use to me.  My bike has been in the shop for three weeks.

VERY GOOD, that was a good one. I wouldnt put it past them. Hey, they read this board, you should copyright that phrase, HD will probably have a new  bike out in 6 months and that'll be the name. But, on the other hand, I have bought my last 3 harleys from private owners (RUBS!!). They lost they're damn shirt, I made out like a bandit, no sales tax, no setup fees, no ridiculous other fees and they took losses bigtime! I made offers and waited them out. My 04 Orange/Black CVO had 1600 miles on it, the 1K service was done and it still has 9 months full warranty on it, I wont tell you what I paid so I dont break your hearts. He said he rode it around the block every weekend to keep it running. The bike is like new. So, its good these dumb*ss rubs are buying these bikes up, they'll be waiting when you want to upgrade or add to your stables! Laughing all the way to the garage!  [smiley=cool3.gif]

Now everyone is getting into the act, I heard on the radio that Menard's is selling inflatable pumpkins. Would that cut down on the shipping costs ?

Unable to get pictures due to the retailer citing that the things are flying off the shelves. Rumor has it that they are air-brushed in the correct Dupont color and authentic down to the peeling chrome. Must haves: 440's as the correct air pressure is hard to maintain.
