We will still pay more than our US cousins for new and used bikes, also for parts. Take a look at the price of a new car or truck, or just about any other product. We pay way more in Canada for the same products sold in the US. Supply and demand.

A few unanswered questions here; of course everyone pee's themselves at the though of saving a shekel, but:
1: What will it be like getting parts direct from HD USA for our dealers; will there be a minimum order (squeezes out the little guys) and how long will it take to get across the border to us up here? I know some parts I order from US sure take time...
2: What about training for HD mechanics? Deeley has an excellent centre with top notch instructors; now gonna be third-party on-line matchbook school of correspondence to save a buck for the individual dealers?
3: Who'll co-ordinate the road-test tour or will it be scrapped? Can't bring the Yankee fleet up here to test...
Business is business and in the end the dollar always rules

A bunch of them in Toronto were given their 3 month notice. I think Harley will put a distribution center up here in Canada and ship from there to the dealers. If the prices come down a bit to be more reasonable more people will buy from the dealers here instead of going online to American dealers ( but who knows for sure ).
