[QUOTE="Wolf, post: 1394429, member: 19358"] You can support them all you want for as long as you want. As long as OEM's shove too many units down the dealers throats even though the numbers are down, and as long as banks (GE is the main underwriter for floorplanning as far as I know) keep hammering these dealers with insane interest rates on floor planning, you'll be lucky to only lose 20% of the dealers. Interestingly, while there seems to be a lot less money floating around, and the spend on "toys" is way down, I don't see any effort on the OEM's part to adjust pricing or offer any kind of help. Oem's have done a fine job of pricing themselves out of the sport - much of that can be attributed (IMO) to the overhyped development of 4-strokes and the affiliated costs to run them. (I subscribe to the thinking of Scott Harden in this case). I for one am completely done holding the bag for these greedy *******s and shop wherever it is cheaper. If I were a dealer I'd say good riddens, get all your crap out of here so I have more room for scooters...cause everybody buys scooters nowadays :) [/QUOTE]
