I was at a social outting last night. An acquantance who is a used car dealer advised me of the following. He regularly goes to an auction, I assume in the central Indiana area. He has noticed how low the bids are on nice used Harleys. According to him it is drastic how much the prices are dropping on these nice cycles. What seemed like was going for 12-14K is now going for 8-9K. Obviously one has to have a dealers license to bid on these units.
A couple of weeks ago two flat bed trailers backed into the local Harley dealer unloading a batch of used Harleys (nice ones). They were getting service done on these cycles. I was advised by the truck driver that all of these cycles had come from an auction.
My my how things are changing in Harleyland. It seems like yesterday a gent in the fall of 1991 told me that all new 1992 Harleys were sold before they were built. That comment has never dimmed from my memory.
