Default Silly MOCO, Tricks are for Kids

So.... A few months ago the MOCO announces that they will not be producing any more Sportsters for '08.......
&nbsp\\;
Oh my God.... Whatever shall we do???
&nbsp\\;
.... First three '09s our dealership received: black 883 Custom, orange &amp\\; black Nightster, silver &amp\\; black Nightster....
&nbsp\\;
I guess they didn't lie....
&nbsp\\;
Just didn't know they would be sending the '09 Sportsters starting in early July..... LMAO

I saw an '09 1200C the other day at the dealer.&nbsp\\; Not much different than the 2008 model - the only thing I noticed was that the slots in the rear wheel are much larger now.

I think it's the 883 standard that is gone the way of the Dodo. The Custom and Low models should still be around. At least thats what I heard.

all he said was that the moved from 08 to 09 models not that they werent makin sportys. it was jsut a joke really because there wasnt a huge wait time in availability. so im pretty sure his facts are on cue.
