Harley sales: the good and the bad

    I see nothing more than exchange rates giving the healthy Australian Harley sales.

    As much as all these MoCo's say they'll increase prices - if they can't move current stock, inevitably it gets fire-sold. Have a look at Holden - that bullshit premium they were tacking on for having their lion on their cars is well gone right now. They just want them out. :) Ford have thus copped it up the jacksie as well. People should be scooping up their Turbo Falcons and leaving the rest to rot.

    A benefit in the short term - the biggest problem comes in the medium term. Over-supply can see that production is cut, supply down gives more scarcity and the higher prices re-visit.

    If you have accessories bought in the last 6 months you'd be laughing at how much they would be to buy today.

    Hmmm & here I was thinking I got a good deal. I got 2 key rings, my little fella got 2 as well, a backpack, a the accessaries book, 25% off Mrs Swoodys must have black open face helmet, Saved $1000 on the pipes because of the Aussie $ but had to wait for 6 weeks for them & had my goodies put on for nics. Mind you as stated they had 6 weeks to put everything on as I wasn't riding it home with the standard Fat fella with the squirts sound coming out of it. LMFAO All this from Harley City in Brunswick Melbourne. Looking at signing up with the Geelong HOGS as it's the closest & best run for me so I'll see if things get any better out of Geelong Harley

    The trouble here in WA is that there is only 3 dealers in the state and one of them is run owned from Sydney ( Frasers ) and there is no compertition so the screw us as hard as they can.  I wish there was an other dealer here in Perth to keep the barstards honest at least.

    mmm I got one pair of free $20 glasses and a cheap open face helmet. Looking now at a new open face and glasses....But when I was looking at a new ride no dealer wanted to move on rrp, I wonder if things have now changed?
