The motorcycle scene in the USA is experiencing convulsive contractions.
Cycle News gone
Buell gone
New bike sales are off by 50%
Used bike sales are way down
Minimal support for racing.........etc etc
In my neck of the woods several franchised dealers and many independent shops are gone. Those that remain just seem to be hanging on. As a biker with 60 plus years riding on three continents the scene has never looked bleaker.
Motorcycles are recreational toys that are becoming irrelevant in the downward spiral of the USA economy. The current crew of clueless clowns in Washington must be replaced ASAP. Use your next vote wisely.

So Obama is to blame for the motorcycle situation; now it's all clear...

I thought that was humorous also, and I can't stand Obama! Toys are the first thing to go when sh!t gets tough. Dealers have had it WAY too good gouging people for AGES! It's hard to feel sorry for the dealers who spent all their profits expecting things to be rosey forever and then not having any spare cash to make it through a tough time.
