I too hate the way HD dealers on cycletrader especially won't disclose thier price. They're jacked so high they scare away customers more often then not. I'm not going to lie, more and more I'm getting disenchanted with the MoCo. Good video GB and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Happy new year to you as well Eric!!! I’m not exactly sure why they have to keep the prices a secret. They might actually sell more if the prices were listed on the site. Nowadays people want to shop online!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I bet it was a welcome opportunity to get out and ride up there. Be well......Bob
Happy New Year Bob!!! It certainly was a welcome sight to see the temps when watching the news!!! I saw that and was planning the ride!!! Thanks for watching Bob!!!
Happy New Year!! Started a new schedule and I had to work the first and second so no staying up late to see the ball drop for me. Those cooling towers in the distance are pretty cool. :)
Happy New Year Mike!!! That sucks you had to work those days…but I guess that’s what adulting is all about. The towers seem ominous especially on an overcast day!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Happy New Year to you, too!! No, that's not asking too much for goodness sake! So glad you have been able to get out for rides like this! I am hoping to get out later this week when the sun peeks itself out! I made it up to midnight so I call that a win! Well, hope that vacation rolls around faster than you hope! Yes, those towers are so pretty, not...take care and be safe!!
Happy New Year Jody!!! It was a welcome thing to be able to get on the bike. If I wasn’t so busy, I would’ve been able to ride on New Years Day!!! Hopefully you get out there and get some 3 wheeled fun in!!!! Woo hoo…midnight!!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Great video
Thank you so much!!! I think this is the first comment you have ever made!!! Welcome to the channel!!! Hope you enjoy!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Awesome you can ride at this time of the year mate. Ride safe 😎
Yeah surprisingly kinda warm, well not warm just not really cold. Hope it’s not getting too hot for ya down there!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Happy New Year buddy! Hope you had a good one! As a Kawasaki guy, I'm hoping you stay with team green, however there's a lot of great bikes out there...Be interesting to see what you end up with.
Happy New Year!!! As of now I’m not totally sold on a new bike. At this point I’m just gonna play it out and see what happens. Love the Vaquero!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
Happy New Year! Good luck on bike hunting!
Happy New Year Smitty!!! Thanks I think I’m gonna need all the luck I can get. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Loving this bonus-riding mild winter, trying to ride all year....
It sure as hell is nice to be able to get out on the bike in January!!!
Happy New Year! That is so frustrating. I can’t even imagine how many customers they lose because of that practice. Ugh I’ve been struggling to get back to the grind. It’s no fun. All I wanna do is ride.
Happy New Year!! We have been having some decent weather lately and I would love to be able to get out more, but that damn thing called work has it in for me!!! Too many people shop online for them not to show prices!! Thanks for watching!!!
Happy new year Goofy. Glad to see you got out to get a ride in! I got nothing on the HD dealers, haha, not my thing.
Happy New Year Dewey!!!! I normally don’t care about Harley either, but since I am kinda sorta looking. Hey maybe it’s a sign to stay away from them!!! Thanks for watching!!!! Stay safe
Happy new year! I got out twice so far this year. I have to loose this K0v!d weight to fit into my heated gear.
Happy New Year!!! Yeah that COVID weight is a real thing!!!! Glad to hear you’re getting out!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe!!!
New bike, very exciting! ✌️🤙
Yes sir, I’m really debating it this year.
Happy New Year Goofy, I got a couple rides in so far this month. One was a nice 162 mile putt even. As far as the Harley dealerships withholding prices, they must've just started doing that practice recently within the last two years, you're not the first I've that from. Those towers, Peachbottom? Later man...
Man that is a very nice little putt around. I don’t know when they implemented not putting prices out, but like I say I went to 3-4 different dealer websites. So the towers are from the Limerick power plant in Pa. Thanks for watching!!! Stay safe, Happy New Year and keep on getting those nice little putts in!!!
I was lucky enough to be off on January 1st, and 2nd, and I ride all day each day!!! It was great!!!
That is awesome Patrick!!! It was nicer here Jan 1st but I had family obligations that I couldn’t get out of. Thanks for watching buddy!!
Be well Goofy, and good luck with the bike hunting!!?
Thank you kind sir!!!! Stay safe buddy
Woooooooowww superb and awesome Rides bro with a great bike. Keep it up and more vidz to come my friend. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS. 🙏☝️😊
I really appreciate you stopping back!!! Thanks for watching bro and always stay safe!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Happy New Year brother. Yup Harley lost for ever their customer base when they’re not coming clean with their customers. I’m working on something behind the scenes to move out of Harley forever…
Happy New Year my friend!!! I totally agree with you!!! Oh wow…I can’t wait to see what you’re working on!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe brother
I freaking hate that! I visited so many dealer websites just to find the one that had prices on them.
I looked at like 3-4 and still nothing. It wouldn’t be so bad but the closed the 2 dealers that were close to me so now I have to drive either 45 minutes in one direction or 35 in the other. Thanks for watching and stay safe!!
6:59 I just have to do this, on April first or second, I’ll be starting my vacation…… The permanent one!!!
Damn, just had to do that to me!!! Lucky Bastard!!!! I’m so happy for ya Patrick!!!
@@GoofyBastard 😂😂😂
Just hope this weather pattern holds for a while.
Yeah like for the next 2 months…or until spring!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@GoofyBastard 👍
Yea, those websites are annoying, best bet is to go in and look around. I was lucky enough to find a straight shooter and that's who I bought my bike through
I will tell you, even when I sent them an inquiry about pricing on motorcycles, I still didn’t get answers. They wanted me to call them. I just don’t wanna waste my time, gas and tolls in some cases to go out to these dealers. Hopefully when I start looking on the serious level, I can find a straight shooter as well. So far not sure about the couple dealers I have gone to. Thanks for watching and supporting Des!!
Harley knows people who want a Harley know that they are just looking for info about the bikes. If you want one you're gonna get one, no matter the price. We know were gonna pay 30 - 40 % more for one than a metric bike. I may be looking into Trike this year( yeah I know I'm old). Harleys all about the name. Not that it wouldn't be cool to see you on a Harley, but you could probably find a metric you would like better.
You are right but I think they need to get with the times. More and more people are doing their shopping online to get all their ducks in a row before wasting time, money and energy to actually go to a dealer. Can I make fun of you if you get a trike??? Cause you know I will anyway!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe!! See you guys next week!!
It's same when go in the dealership. They want to play the price game . Dealerships are marking the price up 3 to 5ks price and demand. They blame on Supply chains
Yeah it surely is insane. Guess they don’t want to advertise a price so they don’t have to stick to it. Thanks for watching and stay safe
It's best to buy used low miles from a private party. But this is a good time of year to buy. Get better price. Good luck.
I haven’t really been looking at private party sales. Maybe I’ll consider that route. Thanks for watching and stay safe Larry!!
roadglide.....doooooooo it!!! Road Glide! RooooooooooooAAAAAD GliiiiiIIIIIIDE!
So I think you are saying I should go with the Road Glide!!
So much business is online nowadays. I found my Indian online. I did go to the dealer but I wouldn’t have if they didn’t have a price. I know people buyin cars online. Paperwork, finance the whole deal.
Yeah it makes more sense to me to know exactly what I’m getting into before I even step foot in a dealership. Thanks for watching and stay safe!!!
First!
Couldn’t have asked for a better person to be first!!!
At least you have Indian dealerships, they all shut down here in AUS years ago, not that they had many in the first place.
Indians are sold in AUS through a motorcycle accessories supermarket chain! ✌️
Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of them over here either. But I did happen to visit on this past weekend along with a Harley dealer. Man window shopping for bikes is looking like it’s gonna lead to actual shopping!!! Thanks for watching!!! Stay safe
Just came across your channel by recommendation from bikes beards an brews. I ride a 2012 kawasaki vaquero myself
Thanks for coming over and checking out my channel!!! I appreciate it!!! I’ll have to thank Ben from Bikes, Beards and Brews for sending ya over. Thanks for watching
@@GoofyBastard ya I gathered your from Pennsylvania so im just the state above ya. Thought it was cool too that you drive truck an so do I. Deff not alot of vaquero around here
@@rockintwisties2011 a couple of truck driving Vaquero riders👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@GoofyBastard do you make it up in lake George ny for americade not sure how far it is for you
@@rockintwisties2011 no I have never been up that way. I am in the south east part of Pa
Happy New Year! Curious about your thoughts on a new ride. Honestly if you had to, I'm with you on a Goldwing, but just can't see wasting $$ on a Harley. I know too many Harley riders with war stories about ridiculous waits on repairs and parts. I get it, they look great, high performance, after market unlimited perks.......but my bro bike was in shop for 6 months waiting on part, another chic been waiting on new highway bars for a year.....to expensive to have to deal with that stuff. My only gripe with Indian is that not enough shops, too far out......something goes wrong on a trip, good luck finding a dealership. Would you do a Voyager? How many miles on your bike? If you trade in, let me know where, I might grab that
Happy New Year!!!! In all honesty around me there are Honda, Harley and Indian dealers within the same kinda distance from my home. So for as far as a dealership goes, that’s kinda equal for me. I know that any of those 3 bikes the prices are gonna be in the same ballpark. As far as Kawasaki goes, if they update the Vaquero/Voyager line I would actually consider going that route. I’ll let you know where that bike might be when and if I decide to trade her in!!! Thanks for watching and stay safe!!
That price thing would piss me off enough to eliminate them from my consideration. Those kind of things irk me way more than they should. Give me a chance to decide if I want to talk about the bike, don’t force me to come in so you can start “salesing” me!!! 2:28
Exactly my thought Patrick. Guess they might be afraid of sticker shock if they put the price online
@@GoofyBastard what’s that saying, if you have to ask the cost, you can’t afford it. I can probably afford it, but if I have to ask, I’m not going to!!😂
Happy New Year you are a Goofy Bastard Nice when you can get out and ride. I hate when they say call for the price what's the secret I might just want to buy it. LOL
Happy New Year to you as well!!! It was awesome to be able to get on the bike in December and January. I don’t understand the way the think about no pricing!! Thanks for watching and stay safe!!
Happy New Year mate! I'm not hating on Harley, but they seem to be doing a lot of things wrong in my opinion.
I am not a Harley guy per say, but I was considering going that route, and now I’m not sure if I should. Thanks for watching!!! Happy New Year!!!
call for price is how they get you in the system so they can stay on you and keep trying to get you to buy something. Always annoying
Yeah I get that and then you get 55 emails and 87 phone calls. I don’t interested in that. Guess I’m just gonna have to go to the dealer and look. Sucks cause the closed the 2 Harley dealers near me. Thanks for watching and stay safe
They do it so they don't have their prices out there in public. which is a dumb reason, but thats why. I'm also like you, I won't call or show up. I'll just find it somewhere else.
I’d like to know what I’m getting into before I waste my time, money and energy. Thanks for watching
Happy New Year!!! We have no snow no rain lots of green grass but meh I don’t take my bike out or hibernation!
HD doesn’t put their price on because they will give ya a special price!!! Haha Indian has been copying HD for years so they need to change that too!! Haha
Personal shopping!!! See if ya serious about Harley you will make that call!! I have done it! Simple get price and hang uP!!
Ohhh gonna be exciting!! I am curious what you will get!! If you decide
I just figured Harley doesn’t put their price on them so they can charge more than MSRP!! How can you pass up taking the bike out of hibernation?? It would kill me just to look at it and not take it out!!! I am curious myself as to what direction I’m gonna go. Thanks for watching and stay safe!!! Happy New Year!!!
@@GoofyBastard Ya My hand still healing truly sucks however it should be strong enough and incision fully healed by March!!!!
@@GoofyBastard Harley people strong brotherhood, most but because they have been influenced in some way and chit chat happens - no one will over pay
Dude I absolutely hate that shitt about Harley websites. Another one of the reasons why I went with my Indian. That and Harley wanted astronomical for old ass motorcycles
Used Harley prices are crazy!!! You can get a new Harley for less than a used one!! That’s just some crazy ass shit in my eyes! I’m really leaning towards an Indian in all honesty. Thanks for watching bro!!! Stay safe
@@GoofyBastard I know you're set on a fixed fairing bike but give their chieftain a ride before you make a final decision man
@@truckinbiker I will definitely check one out for sure!
