GB, I have looked at Harley's off and on for about ten years now. Stopped one day (about 1995) at a Big Dog dealer just to see what was on the floor. About choked when I saw the prices, at $21,995.00. So anyway, I BS's with the dealer(a real down to earth guy, even if the bike prices weren't) and told him I had been looking at the Suzuki Intruder's, and he told me I would be a lot better off buying a Dyna Low Rider cause of the resale.I think at the time a LR was about $12.9.So anyway I went on over to
the local HDD and there was not a single new bike on the floor,but there was a DWG that pretty much fit my idea of what I wanted to ride.It was a 1994 if I remember correctly,but I about -hit when I saw the price tag was 2k over list for a new DWG. So I gets me a salesman over and asked him what the -uck is with the price on this used bike. I think he looked at me as if I were some kind of total idiot,cause he said that he was never gonna sell a bike at list,and used bikes were marked pretty much what the traffic would bare. That opened up my eye's as to what was going on in the Harley market. We got a rather large part of our biker society that is willing to pay just about any price to be a part of whatever they think it is, that they are going to be a part of. So while I look, and sometimes admire the HD motorcycle, I will never pay that entrance fee. And can you just imagine the talk when I pulled up to the HD store on Saturday morning dressed in a full face helmet. Al
