They may have been referring to Thunder Mountain. Salesperson at my dealership says that Thunder Mountain has or is going out of business.

Me personally would would love to order the bike exactly the way I want, no unbolting a bunch of crap that I have to ebay. In the long run I would save money and HD would make more on the initial sale. Plus I would be riding right off the bat instead of wrenching. The unfortunate thing is the retail store would hurt big time.

But I this is a rumor you can't turn time back.

If I was a Harley dealer I would love to spread that rumour around. That way everybody is going to hurry up and buy a bike while they can. If anybody believes the rumour please contact me privately as I have some Florida "beachfront" property I would like to sell you.
