Default HD in trouble?

I'm certainly not bashing the MoCo, but I see evidence of this at my local dealership -- lots of bikes on the floor, don't see much movement.

Yup, if they wanted to "create" demand, they should reduce supply. Then it would be 1995 all over again, as far as being fortunate enough to be allowed to buy a bike.

Right now there's too much supply and not enough riders to buy them. Hence the Rider's Academy program.

They have reduced supply, but apparently not enough. It doesn't help that the new models are crazy expensive.

There are already several threads on this, along with the hundreds that are posted every year about Harley going out of business. Been going on for 115 years.

Agreed. Well...maybe 34 years...unless they were posting threads before the internet was invented?
