In a recent poll I thought I understood most of you felt that the market demand was down due to the slower economy.(I did not by the way). As I read now, in various posts, people seem to be reacting tothemarket demand on theHD market differently with a 180 degree turn onwhat theyjust got done saying. If the market demandis slow.... due to the economy, logic is one mustcut back on production (supply/demand) until demand catches up with supply. So why are those who are willing tosay it is a slow economy in one post, then turn around and say that if you want a HD Touring model you better be willing to pay top dollar....."because there are only a fewnew bikes out there".... Is it to support their decision that they just went out an paid MSRP.... oris this the 'ole toilet paper shortage' the world uses to lurethose who think the lastroll is on the shelf.....?IMO if they cut back for any other reasonwe already have a Harley and the market will go up for our bikes if they want to reduce production to increase the demand..... and the only loser is the guy who pays high dollar and does not have a bike already. Your thoughts would be appreciated..... as I am at a loss for some of the logic I read....

Thanks...

 

Is there really a toilet paper shortage?

 

Myarse ispriceless. I'll pay top dollar for butt tickets!

 

I'm going to wal mart now --- must increase the toilet paper supplyat the house

 

Just my chance I bought a case of TP from Sam's last weekend. Those babys are goingon eBay tonight.

 

Coffee shortage, toilet paper shortage, paper bag shortage, spotted owl shortage, panda bear shortage, sugar shortage, fuel shortage, oil shortage, doctor shortage, you name it .... we've got a shortage for it.. why must we always have shortages? Oh yea was there a rubber shortage once? Everything to drive up prices and drive down confidence. Good thing there's no shortage of opnions and I'm full of em..

 

Don't use the Walmart Toilet Paper! unless you like your finger in your butt...

 

H-D cannot reduce production,their shareholders will not allow it(less bikes creates less dividends),what they are trying to do is change their allocation process,sending different amount of units to different areas of the USA and overseas at different times of the year(winter-slower season=less sales).They are not increasing production as much as they have in the past. Demands are up overseas.

 

Oh, man - ah better go stock up!

TOILET PAPER SHORTAGE - SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!

 

Toilet Paper shortage! Glad I save my Sears Roebuck catalogs.
