Question Used Harley hotspots

I've noticed over the past year or so that there are some areas in the US where there seem to be an abundance of used Harleys for sale at (IMO) very reasonable prices - almost giveaways compared to local prices.
Now, I'm basing this observation from my point of view from way, way up Northern, and then Eastern, Canada. It pains me to see what`s happening to the US economy for the sake of you guys, my American neighbors.
Place names like North Carolina seem to be a hot spot - I believe that`s where my bike originated - for used Harleys. Pennsylvania is another, and most especially Florida.
What is the reason for this? A Harley flooded market?...Poor regional economy, and perhaps more repos?
These mean very good deals for Canadians seeking reasonably priced bikes. There are probably more American bikes coming into our country than ever. So much so that, as most know, warranties on American bikes aren't even honored in Canada, all in the name of curbing our appetite for used American Harleys, no doubt. And a HD sales person in Canada will make up just about anything to turn you away from an American sale.
