Yeah, but I saw tons of bikes for sale (all harleys) this weekend on a
ride. Me thinks people are trying to ditch anything of value to help offset
other costs, pay down bills, etc.
I read an article last week that Harley sales were down 12.8% first quarter
08 and were laying off 8% of their work force. Ouch.
Oh yeah, I saw my first Can-Am Spyder on Satuday's ride. It's really cool,
but I think the market needs a covered trike, or at least one like VW's.
45MPH and 1.25Gs on the skid pad! Can't wait for the VentureOne. That
looks cool too!
