Default Any Harley Lawn Ornaments in Your Area?

I have 2 near me. One is a late model Super Glide. The other is a Cross Bones. They never move. Except when the grass is cut. Then rolled back to the same spot. Outside all the time. Rain or shine or snow (yeah it snowed here this winter,twice). Might as well be bird baths. Looking at the domiciles these people are not that well off. Not judging, just saying. I have seen this phenomenon before. I cannot wrap my brain around it.

Ever stop and talk to the decorators? Might find out a little more about the reason(s) for it by asking them, rather than "us".

Mine sits outside here in Germany, covered if I am on a trip without it, but never sits more than a day or so, even in the cold and rain. Wait for a nice day to ride in Germany and you get 3-4 in a year. I have hit 7 countries so far this year and it just broke 70 2 weeks ago. On the OP though I would talk to them, might get a pretty good deal there.

There's a VTX lawn ornament I see on my way to work every day since last summer. It says "For Sale".

My shop is in an industrial area. There are several other shops I pass on the way to mine and every once in a while the guy around the way rolls his 50 something HD servicar out when it's in his way and leaves it out until he has room to put it back inside.

I can't remember how many times I've stopped by & tried to buy it from him...
