I don't believe that used Harleys will ever be as cheap and plentiful as they were pre covid. The Harley "boom" of the late 1980s - 2010 ish is over and the supply of nice used Harleys will dwindle.

Seems like I have had a lot less rain for this time of year. Usually have standing water in the ditch by the road and any low spots in the yard. I few of the ditches around here that are near the roads I ride are usually up to the road or are on it. I did go through some deep water in Fort Myers near Edison Mall last week.

I was coming home yesterday and right before a turn towards my house there was a solid line of rain across the street. Literally a straight line of active rain and only a foot away dry street. I turned right, then left and went 300 yards and was home. Not a drop hit me. Then just as the garage door was closing the rain hit like an air tanker dumped a firefighting load on me. Freaky weather down here

LoL... Sorry, didn't mean to be misleading.
When I lived in the somewhat frozen northern states, this time was always leading up to the better deals on stuff people didn't want to store over the winter. Always saw a dip in pricing as the mercury dropped in the thermometer.
Thoughts?

I’m only about an hour north of you but it’s been raining torrentially every single day with few exceptions. But as we all know in Florida it can be pouring on your house and sunny on your neighbors…I was coming home yesterday and right before a turn towards my house there was a solid line of rain across the street.

ETA: sorry for the off-topic long post. Reminiscing. I moved away from Oviedo 33 years ago. Was still old cracker FL (heck I'm an old cracker) out in the rural area where I lived.

Florida Winter lol. So high 80s instead of high 90s. Whoop-dee-doo. The only good thing is it doesnt rain torrentially every fn day. Thats about it. I guess 85 is better then 95, but not so much. I miss light jacket weather. Maybe in the northern parts of the state but in SW, not so much.
