I need some input from the Harley guys here. I've been offered a 1988 Ultra Classic as trade for an item I have for sale. It appears to be in good cosmetic condition but I have no solid experience with Harleys. This would be strictly for turn over. I really don't have any desire to own a Harley except for profit. I guess I need to know whether this bike has any mechanical flaws and if it has a viable value this coming spring and what that value 'might' be. Thanks

I found a dealer that is cheaper than the dealers here in Tenn. I never bought a gun out of state from a dealer, so I called and was surprise I can't buy one unless it ship to a dealer here which he will make a profit and after all said and done I'm back at the prices here.. Is there a way around this?

First of all, this is NOT a political thread. I have always kept up with the news, whether it is the evening news, 24 hour news, radio or reading the local paper. I have spent many hours eating lunch in my car parked somewhere listening to Paul Harvey. I am now getting to the point that I can not stand to be around the news. I will still listen to Paul Harvey(or his stand-in) because at least there will usually be some up lifting news, but everything else is just more and more depressing. It is stuff like this that rips me, headline; "Local Company Looses 2 Million Dollars!" When you read the story, it does tell that company actually made a fairly good profit, BUT, their profit was 2 million dollars less than what was predicted a year ago. It is like, how bad can we make the news look in the headlines, at every opportunity? Then you got the story like I heard this morning as I was getting ready to go to work; Woman spends $155,000 to get her dog cloned. Which reminds me, has anyone else heard what is the latest going on with the PETA bunch? RandyA

Just wanted to pass this along to the group...I have used these folks a couple of times and they have one of the best discount accessories available on the web... I would expect this Yamaha Price Increase to apply to ALL Dealers...Not just these folks...I know its a lot, but here it is....Just in case you want something before February 209... Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving.... George In Virginia [ATTACH]24033[/ATTACH] Dear valued customer, we here at South Seattle Sports Plaza are faced with a dilemma that has us torn between some directions in which we need to move to further provide you with all your motor-sports needs, first question is, do we drop our current discount to between 15 and 20 percent like all the other dealers, giving that extra profit to Google and Yahoo to stay in the top positions of their search pages? Or do we keep our discount at 27 percent and cut our expenses on search engines and hope our customers keep spreading the word to receive the volume of business we need to support that high of a discount. On Yamaha’s last price update Oct 1st, they not only did a major price increase but they also dropped the dealers’ profit margins on thousands of items. One example is the new Star custom wheel kits. The front wheel for a Road Star, part number 5C7-f54E0-V0-00, retail is 1449.95 and dealer cost is 1087.50. Our price is 1087.46 on our website. This is like many other accessories items that have 25% or fewer profit margins and we loose money. But that’s the bad news. In these times things have increasingly slowed and we are in need your business and that of your friends now and in the future. So for the good news we are going to leave the 25% discount on accessories where it is and has been for the last couple years and increase the parts discount to 30%. We will keep these prices till February and then change the parts discount to 25% and the accessories discount to 22%. I would also like to add that right now our Star inventory is well stocked and we have a lot of items that Yamaha even has on backorder. Also when ordering parts if you see something that says backorder we still might be able to get it out of Japan or even have it in stock. If you order a backorder item and it will be awhile before available, we will contact you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. Thank You, Dan McVeigh yamahasportsplaza.com ysppart.com allyamaha.com onlyyamaha.com

I just bought a complete motor from a 89 with less then 15K. I'm going to clean and polish the cases. Seal up the in's and out's. Install some fresh oil and store it for a while. I might need it for a project or sell for a profit. Is there anything else I should do for storage preparation. It was just removed last week.
