I talked with a HD owner today and he said there is a big difference about what comes out of the crate and what is finally put on the showroom floor. Trick it out with alot of chrome and stuff and $20K is is definitly possible.

That is definetly correct, that's why most HD owners add on all the chrome and bells and whistles from aftermarket catalog's or shops like WBB's shop

(excellant work by the way). Anything that prints HD on it and comes from a dealership is always more $$$ alway's has been, alway's will, that's why a t-shirt from them cost's $40

I'm going to assume that you do not ride. The local Harley dealership is looking to cater to people who ride. Laconia Bike Week pulls in an obscene amount money each year. The Harley dealer is located in Meredith, but the new owners are pursuing a marketing strategy looking to target bikers from all over (not just the lakes region). When people in the biker world hear "Laconia"....they think of Laconia Bike Week. I understand the name change, and think it makes sense.

Anyway...I'm off to the Myrtle Beach Fall Bike Rally tomorrow!! Any other Winni forum members heading down to SC?

Well, I do ride and have been a long term customer of Meredith HD. As I said a while ago, I am disappointed with the name change.

I involves the whole state. This is a marketing strategy in it's most simple form.

this is a silly thing to be screaming about (giant, bold fonts in all caps).. there are countless businesses with regional names designed to invoke an association with a location or lifestyle that aren't in the exact town or location named...

the owners undoubtedly paid significant money to buy the business and they can call it whatever they like...
