RE: Duracell Sales
I originally went to the dealer to get an '08 wide glide, but they only come in the duracell so i went with the super glide custom. i would not of taken the wg in that color sceme if they gave it to me at black cost. i'm thinking they sold very few '08 wg's.

RE: Duracell Sales
Never been a fan of the anniversary concept as a whole. Alot of guys were dumping their 100th models on Ebay over the last year or two I've noticed. This color combo is off the hook though..just plain butt ugly (IMHO) if you like it..go for it

RE: Duracell Sales
Hmmm two of your whopping three posts concern the 105th Anniversary bikes.
a. It's a "Harley-Davidson" decision on anniversary models. They have had them since long before you even thought about riding.
b. If you dont like em you have a choice. There's always Honda.
c. If you can do better - go for it.
d. Some areas can't keep them in the store - they sell out.

RE: Duracell Sales
Another bi-weekly thread about how ugly the Dura-cell colors are. [sm=icon_blah.gif][sm=icon_blah.gif][sm=icon_blah.gif]
Funny how nobody has ever come up to me to tell me that my bike is ugly, isn't it? My wife and I bought our Ultra because we like the color combo, not as a collector's item. If you don't like the color of my bike, look the other fkn way. I guess I could have been original and bought another black bike and, I know, maybe add more black parts to it. Then I, too, could be cool.

RE: Duracell Sales
I like the color, especially in the sunlight after a fresh wax job. And as the prices are dropping a bit - saw $17,500 on the 105th WG last week - they are moving them around here. Riding this weekend with the wife I saw an Anni Wide Glide in Burlington, an Anni Electra Glide Ultra Whatzit - I dunno what they call them nowadays - on I40, an Anni Road Glide (?) with the full faring and the twin headlights at a gas stop near Climax whose owner invited us to a party in Ashboro, and an Anni Sportster at an auto parts store in Greensboro.
Most people either love the color or hate it. I love it. And as the prices drop a little more people are moving on them. HD shops always have models years left over, it's not a big deal. It's just that the copper-top color stands out a lot more so people notice more readily.
I think the people who keep making posts about how many are still in the showroom are protesting a bit too much. I mean, really, what do you care? You pissed cause you can't afford one, or what?
