Called into Edinburgh Harley today, they are shutting down at the end of April, both Harley and Kawasaki. The only bike dealer in Edinburgh after that will he the Honda and Triumph dealer, must be the power of the pink pound.

Dealers of all marques are dropping like flies, the trade press is full of it.  The manufactures need to think about what they're doing , hoisting ever increasing sales targets is not the way forward.  They need to do more to support the dealers.

My shortarse mate Lloyd asked me, I said I have no clue but will ask somebody who might know.   I'll tell him to stick with his Indian Scout and Van Van then.  😉

Speaking to the dealer principle, Kirk, he said Harley had increased the sales target for 2025 and at the same time had pulled their two best selling models for the U.K.

Nope...waaay too expensive for a Cad jockey's budget. Cremation alone will cost plenty.

I was just looking for a hill to climb that wasn't too far away & honing my skills sliding around on the gravel a bit...
