build a SXS with HD Logo. Can Am type trike and they better figure out a DCT . That is where I think MC.s will eventually go. Local Can Am dealer that I work with doesn't even sell the standard tranny model anymore. Every body is buying the semi automatic model.

lower production(some HD dealers will have to close down), increase price....  I would not want a Can am type if bike, I also don't see many around here. 

Everyone I know that has and HD will replace it with another HD. 

Same happen in 2008 to the automotive industry, once it restructure and got rid of some of the fat it was caring, things got better.  May not be as good as the good old days but over all things are good.

I see the can ams all the time, we give  classes on Can Ams for people that don't want to ride a two wheeler.

 
/Everyone I know that has and HD will replace it with another HD.

That's the people you know, few of the Rider Coach instructors at the dealership that I teach at ride HD's and it's a HD dealership. Very few of the young students coming thru the class want a HD. But it's not just HD, motorcycle sales nation(world) wide are down significantly. Single brand dealerships are having a hard time. HD can ride it out for now but their clientele are aging out. I think they have a great opportunity at this time if they expand their offerings and become a powersports company. but what do I know. These guys probably know more than me.

Well, cool...I zoomed in on the picture of the employees, and the old manager isn't in it.  He was an absolute prick, so I may go back to them in the future and conduct business with them again.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.
