HD cancels orders, lays off workers...shutdowns coming
Breakingnews.....HD suffering poor sales....HD credit losing big cause they can't pawn off financed bike loans.
Plant closings and layoffs to come.....Dealer inventories to shrink..........production cuts.....orders canceled.
Yep........I saw it coming.
And it willbe REALLy bad by this time next year.
Have you guys also noticed that classifieds are full of low mileage used Harleys selling for payoff?

HOORAY! Let the price slashing begin!
HOORAY! Let the price slashing begin!
Worst case scenario is that demand goes down and supply matches it. That equates to no change at all in price.

JohnnyD....
We got the word today that our new hire just got orders to Iraq.........I suffered(enjoyed) 6 months overtime waiting to hire him...now that he is hired I get 12-18 months overtime while he plays in the sand....I want a VACATION!
I'm sick of overtime! I broke 100K in 2007 and the IRS gave it all to single moms who will never clean my house or cook for me!......I wish we would hire an illegal so I can get some time off!
All I do is work and buy parts...come home and screw them on, then go back to work......I need time to ride to distant places...
My life sucks....I make big bucks, then spend it on chrome thatI install and polish at work.....I have to hire my grass cut and my laundry washed cause I'm always at work............

I would think the opposite. Less supply+same demand = higher prices, not lower
Worst case scenario is that demand goes down and supply matches it. That equates to no change at all in price.

Does anyone remember when Harley would give you full price on a trade in foryour used bike? My buddy did it in the late 80's. Now your lucky to get 1/2.[&:]

JohnnyD, we are in tune
I too have stated here that we are in a serious recession and many here responded that all was cool andI was full of crap.
I'm glad I made good investments last 15 years....And I'm glad I stocked away firewood and other nice to have consumablesnow that things are really starting to suck.
