Default No 2012......

fatboy low until end of year. Went shopping for a new ride today just to find out my local dealer is getting a limited supply of units (according to sales guy). I wanted some info on the Vrod and he said no Vrods were ordered because of poor sales on those units. Plenty of 2011's and a few 12's. WTF, I guess I will keep my 08 EG and throw more $$ to mod it out a bit more.
Every dealer a visited (4) seems to have received the same units (switch blade, dressers etc).
Maybe a Ducati might join my stable next week.

Agree, but not one has what I want, and at this point I am looking at two dealers more this week and moving on. I have 4 bikes, possibly trading one in so it would be one more ride to have. No hurry, no worries. Maybe 2013's. I will not buy what they want to sell me to dump inventory.
