My local HD dealer here had some vintage bikes on display in addition to the show room and the separate brand and accessory sales building. The policies put in place by Harley last year forced them to surrender the franchise due to new requirements to build a brand new dealership facility- an edict coming directly from HD.
The dealer now sells Royal Enfield and lawn equipment. Sad but true.
I do not understand how making it harder for people to access your product in a regional area, to see it and buy it can actually increases sales?
