Default Return after 4 years

While I joined in 2007, in 2012 the family moved back to Canada and as a result I had to sell my 2006 35th Anniversary Dyna. Bad news here was that my bike had everything required for import to Canada EXCEPT a sticker saying it conforms. Despite the fact that I even spoke to the head of the Dyna program at the MoCo i was assured all was ok but had to go through Deeley as the official importer. Guess what? Deeley would not allow it and told me flat out that they would sell me a new bike.

I thus vowed never to buy a Harley in Canada if it meant $0.01 in profit for Deeley.

Thank you MoCo for taking away their **** import licence and going it alone. I congratulate you and will ride my new to me 2015 Iron 883 with an ever pleasant smile on my face!

Also a huge thanks to my wife. The best woman in the world for surprising me with this bike for my 50th.

Return greetings to all.

Congrats on your new to you Sporty. Buy from Freedom HD? Great parts guy Doug Taylor. Agree with your opinion of Deely, IMHO the sole reason why HD parts were unreasonably high priced compared to US.
