I am begining to wonder here gentlemen if Harley Davidson isn't looking at their numbers and closing down dealers that are underperforming. There are things we may not be seeing, but corporate is.

Have to agree..One of the better Dealers in the Chicagoland area and we have quite a few to choose from...Unfortunately most of them I would not let them put air in my tires much less put a wrench on it!

Did some calling around and found out MoCo told the dealer they would only receive 200 bikes this year to sell...the dealer sold over 300 in'10 and wanted at least that many and MoCo said no...The owner decided to close up than try to make it with only 200 bikes to sell...Sounds like MoCo wants to get back to the waiting list days!

From post #23 When it explains they build 500 bikes per day, you are probably correct about the waiting list. No excess inventory or building a particular model of bike that isn't a fast seller. Makes sense in this economy, no one wants excess in stock that only takes up floor space.
It is not so much profit, but SURVIVAL...appeasing shareholders and investors is part of this. To generate short term money in a cash tight economy (the banks are saying they are making loans...but reality says otherwise)... takes talent AND vision to aggregate investors to provide dollars for investement in the future. Staying solvent in these rough times is NOT easy...the unemployment and limited consumer confidence reflects this.
