Pssst Ian. What cha tryin' to do here? Get Friar John fired up about them darn Californians all over again?

(sorry FJ...I couldn't resist)

Now, regarding the Harley market...I think dill pretty much nailed it. With most areas of the housing market going flat, and the equity of people's homes in many cases taking a down-turn, the idea that you're going to go out and purchase a 20-thousand dollar "toy" is on the wane due to financial concerns.(and I say toy because in most cases, motorcycles are toys, as most americans don't tend to use them as basic transportation)
And with Harley production at an all-time high, this glut of their inventory will naturally be compounded.
