They'll still be there Koot.
Just won't have the Main distribution to Canadian dealers that Trev had.
Factory delivery direct to dealers by July 2017 if not sooner.Should cut down delivery time for those buying parts and new ordered bikes.

Thankyou comrade Dennman, I suspect a simple public execution, similar to the one Putin just carried out on his political rival, will be sufficient

Big thanks Sunny for the great Old Iron patches.
Deeley and Harley Done Canadi11
More pin rearrangin or old patch overlay needed to get this beauty on my vest.

jmac is in the area.He stopped by briefly yesterday.Might show up today.I'll be sure to get a couple to him.He bought a new (to him) vest in Powell River so he's got loads of room for one.

Damn you're fast .I realized that I'd posted this in the wrong spot and tried to move it before you replied. Too slow obviously.Added a question in the new one.

Overall this should be good news for the Harley community in Canada. Possibly bring our pricing more in line as we will not have to pay penance to the Deely group.
We need to keep in mind what Trev Deely did for the organization in the earlier years. He was instrumental in having the transition from AMF to the employee owned and influenced Brand that we saw in the eighties. Sorry to sound sacrilegious but was also a strong influence to the advancement to the Evolution engine as well as other significant advancements for Harley. As the only non American on the Harley Board of Directors, he was ,almost single handedly, the main push behind the squashing of the Alpha project. Trev was a helluva guy! I can!t say the same thing about Mr. Malcolm. He is probably one of the most negative influences for us as customers in the Deely organization and has represented all that is "wrong" with the Canadian distribution. He did make a shit load of money for the Deely group. Was told by an insider a number of months back that Deely would soon be a thing of the past as far as being anything more than just another "dealer" in the network, all that is left to say in this diatribe is Hurrah!!!

Hey Jmac, I be praying to the Gods of dirty crusty iron that you bagged yourself a UL or a ULH , any flat is a good flat as long as it ain`t a flat tire.

I hate to be a negative nancy, but i doubt it will do anything to bring pricing in line with the south. Harley looks at everyones books, so they exactly the penance that Deeley brings in. I highly doubt they will opt to leave that on the table rather than pocket the difference. There will still be a canadian distributor, it will just have the motor company heading instead of Deeley. They will still need the staff to deal with importation, and running the warehouses in Van and Toronto.

I also sure hope the motor company doesn't take the same approach and start opening dealerships every 20 minutes, but that's purely a selfish reason, given I work at one of those dealerships.

I hope I'm wrong Clark, it would sure be nice to see the bikes/parts priced the same on both sides of the border save for taxes and exchange.

Thanks for the insight Broman. You could be right I also have concerns about the loss of Deely people. Have a good friend in Toronto that has worked there for a number of years. I don' t think you have to worry about an over abundance of dealerships as HD usually determine the dealership by demographic or in some instances by whether or not the dealership has pissed them off.
We will always have the US dollar , positive or negative to deal with, but we have always been aware that we have to contribute to the Deely coffers as the importer of the Harley product.
In any case, we all know who our favorite HD dealer is!!!

Another change in dealerships is taking place Drane HD in Victoria has been bought by Langley HD on the mainland.
I made a point to check out Dranes table at the 2 Island swap meets that I hit.He always had an old Shovel part or 2 in his pile of Twink bolt ons.Doubtful that'll be happenin now.

Don't think his present customers know his nickname.He had a satelite shop in Courtenay a ferw years back.By the time ya made it past the sushi bar and weaved your way through the apparel,the dinky little service counter couldn't help ya w/ findin parts.
Hopefully he'll still show up at swaps w/ more of his old parts.
