  1. When a dealers P & L shows a 2 year drop, makes it pretty hard to market - probably come closer to giving it away and the end result would be the same. It's a shame but it's happening all over the country.
  2. See what happens when a name change occurs ?? People start DREAMING !!
  3. I feel for her loss and for the employees but loosing a Harley dealership only means guys may have to ride farther to get chrome.
  4. I did 360 miles yesterday on 4 lane, primary and tertiary roads and the fastest I had to go was ( by the Zumo ) 73 mph to pass a couple cars on the 4 lane. Now this will surely raise some eyebrows - I have a Kumo on the rear @ 54lbs. No wiggle, no sway and I can attest to the ability to stop on a dime. Should have gotten the name of the guy that pulled out in front of me but once he got over the shock of the air horn, he was gone.
  5. OK - now I've got to keep buckshot from flying around and getting too close to me.
  6. The nice thing about life in general is that it really doesn't take very much to please SOME people :innocent-emoticon:
  7. I just looked at their slide show, didn't see much of a campground but there was plenty of pix of the gift shop. Wonder where they make their money ? Will there be a 'block' of sites reserved ?
  8. as stated, it's just a light bar - didn't look good on a wing and looks worse on a Venture -
  9. I have a 2007 RSV and I don't have any trouble cruising at 55 on up in 5th gear. Am I lugging it ? who cares ?
  10. I think it's a GREAT looking bike for the OWNER. I prefer my altered Midnight Venture
  11. Annie - I found this on the net A few states do not assess sales tax. States like Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon, for example, do not asses a sales tax. Tax laws, however, can change rapidly and dramatically. With a little planning and scheming, you could save sales tax but you will definitely loose on the buy back program. Bike/car/RV dealers ALL sell vehicles at the highest RETAIL they can get. When it comes to trading or a sell back, again they ALL use the LOWEST wholesale figure the consumer will put up with. That's how their P & L is managed.
  12. here's hoping that your health comes back quicker that you lost it. Also, brand of bike has no bearing except for those that are too narrow minded to understand. Best of luck - hope to se you on the road
  13. Besides looking odd, what where the colored tips on the muffs ? and what do they do ??
  14. now I'm confused but then, everybody knows I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box:smile5:
  15. Too much information buddy but interesting
  16. see ya
  17. ALRIGHT - toldja I had more than 1
  18. naw - just checkin' on my buddy
  19. Oh - I'll thank you, don't know how just yet but it'll happen errh, I mean aahhh
  20. How's things in Indiana ??
  21. You might want to consult your family Dr. & ask about arthritis ??
  22. I'd do it in a heartbeat - but Linda can't take more than a few hours at a time on a bike in this kind of heat
  23. The best I can do is let you think about it - tell you what, if our schedules work out about the same, we can make some arrangements with regard to sleeping and eating on the way out. I've got a fridge that works, will have cold water, lunch meat etc. beats the heck outta gas station stuff, not to mention a place to get out of the elements -
  24. I told her to just go ahead and put all she wants done on the puter, she's so busy with the grandkids she hasn't noticed I've deleted most of them already. With any luck, she'll gorget what she listed to begin with
