RE: Aussie Softail

Thanks for the compliments fella's. I think you will find that Australia is the biggest Harley market outside the US. Morgan and Wacker, the Harley dealership in Brisbane, where I got my bike from, are the oldest Harley dealership, again, outside the US. They have been selling Harley's since 1917. There is a local authorised Harley dealer here now on the coast plus quite a few aftermarket Harley shops, as well. After ordering the softail in late December 1993, it arrived after only three weeks. At the time I was reading in bike magazines here there was a twelve month wait in the States. That surely has changed now, hasn't it ?????

Safe riding folks

RE: Aussie Softail

Awsome softail, very nice looking. There were plenty of new harleys at the dealers around the northeast this winter, not sure now. I bought mine in Jan, 3 dealers had it in stock. I heard H-D might be cutting back on production now though. It is probibly a wise move, with several dealers selling at MSRP and plenty of bikes available, it would lower resale, and we don't want that!
